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.

Better wait for Yunohost to update the very old Lemmy version they currently have. In the current version this setting doesn't even exist anymore in the admin ui.
The main blocker, at least so far, was Lemmy is designed mainly to use use Docker containers to version itself and its main dependencies like Postgresql, while YunoHost runs on the bare system. And since YunoHost is still on Debian 11 it only has access to Postgresql 13 while Lemmy now wants 15. This unfortunately is hard to resolve. YunoHost doesn't want to introduce Docker, and upgrading the entire platform to Debian 12 is slowly happening but it's a lot of work.
Well it is "working" for me. I'm using a YunoHost Lemmy 0.16.7 to type this comment :). But I agree there should be some kind of warning on the project that it's only really partially working, and very outdated (thanks to the recent flurry in activity and changes).
Mainly though I wish YunoHost would just support Docker idiomatically and install Lemmy "as intended". Yeah Docker can be a bit of a pain and it uses more resources, but it also has many real advantages like siloing the apps from the host system..
Yunohost uses his own package managing and package format based on native app builds. Migrating to Docker would simply be a waste of this work. Furthermore, Yunohost is a great alternative to hosting with Docker. if Yunohost migrated to Docker, it would not be an alternative, but just a slightly simpler front-end.
But yeah, some sort of containerization/sandboxing in Yunohost would be nice.
