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.

Hello!

I've been thinking about hosting my own Lemmy instance, but wonder if there's an easy way to federate with other communities/instances. I like to browse the "All" tab, but that tab would be empty on a self-hosted instance I imagine.

Is there a way to get all communities of certain instances in my All feed? Or do I have to search up each individual community manually once?

Ah, so someone needs to be actually subscribed to a community for their content to show up in All?

Alright I guess I'll have to write a simple Bot that can do that for me then

If you're comfortable with Python, you can try this out: Lemmy.py

I'll give it a shot :) If I manage to make something useful I'll share it

I also run a self hosted instance so I would be interested in a bot that stays subscribed to communities I want "synced" into my instance without me also being subscribed
