Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

So I did figure out that yes, #Mastodon can federate #Lemmy and #Kbin content. The problem is that Mastodon doesn't know what to do with it, so it (the group) looks like a user that boosts all posts and comments.

I found myself browsing the "federated group" @selfhosted over on https://kbin.social, as I think Kbin has a nicer UX for it.

I didn't really want to create a separate account for group stuff, but that might be what we do in the short term. πŸ€”

Speaking of edits, Lemmy's edit federation works as well!

EDIT: Ah interesting. I see the pencil icon on Lemmy for your edit, but my edits aren't marked with an icon. That feels like cheating. πŸ˜†

EDIT2: I stand corrected, the pencil appeared later. I wonder if this one will change too?

EDIT3: Yes it does. Another curiosity, but I swear that the comment count for this thread goes up every time I edit. πŸ€”

EDIT4: Confirmed (for Lemmy at least). After I push send the comment count should say 31.
