Selfhosted

52007 readers

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.

I can't post on a Mastodon instance with another instance account, only comment on people's posts. This is the same way Flohmarkt does federation.

I also can't create an community on Lemmy with an account from another instance.

Can you create a hashtag for australia with your account on a US server? Can you create a hashtag for France while living in Poland? Can you create a post with a hashtag for Romania while living in Scotland?

I also can’t create an community on Lemmy with an account from another instance.

I can easily create a post for any location without requiring an account for that instance.

Hashtags are only search filters, nothing gets posted anywere.

And Lemmy is designed like that because it doesn't aim to be location specific, unlike classified ads pages where that is the design goal.

Please explain to me how I, as a user in the United States, can use flohmarkt, with the current servers available and online today.

You set up a server with the software that is available to you today 🤷 Don't hide behind self-inflicted learned helplessness to be a lazy capitalist consumer...

Ok, now you're just being an asshole rather than understanding why its a design problem.

We are absolutely done with this conversation now. Goodbye.
