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.

I recently joined Pixelfed and, considering there's no algorithm, hashtags are the only way to be discovered.

I hate hashtag optimizing, but I also don't want to upload my image to someone else's random server before posting it to pixelfed, just to generate hashtags. Where should I look to find something I can host myself, or even something that runs natively on Android/Linux, that'll generate hashtags/keywords for an image?

I don't know what's worth tagging and what isn't. I don't know which tags are popular and so have followers vs. which ones aren't.

The information exists but isn't presented anywhere convenient.

If I have to do homework before posting a picture I'm massively more inclined not to bother, which isn't particularly good for the Fediverse.

I would love something that could give me suggestions for relevant and popular hashtags for my content.
