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.

Compared against the predominant incumbent social media platforms, the fediverse is very small.

Also I am very much impressed how much content this small number of users can generate.

But I thought that was the excuse we were using for why Reddit still has lots of users?

Not attacking you, just pointing out the ludicrousness of everyone saying that all of Reddits accounts are bots when Lemmy is full of them as well.

99% of posts on Lemmy only ever see a comment from that annoying arse tldr bot.

That bot alone is probably the most active Lemmy account around.

I turned off the ability to see bot accounts in my lemmy setting and it has vastly improved my experience

Do you do this through the webpage or through an app?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

I did it on the web page

So I go to lemm.ee the website then go to all my account settings from (I think) that little hamburger menu

then where there’s all the checkboxes one will say “show bot accounts” and just uncheck that

I browse exclusively on mobile and both on Avelon and Memmy I haven’t seen bot posts. Comments it’s a coin flip imo

It's not the size of the fanbase, but the quality of its media and the community of its users.
