Selfhosted

46443 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.

Are there instances that run modified versions of the base Lemmy software? For example, that use their own sorting algorithms, or provide users ways to block instances or specific users, etc?

Are there communities that talk about this kind of thing? Like a LemmyForInstanceOwners community? I don't really want to trawl through GitHub for this sort of discussion.

If one had developed code to do these things, why would one not upstream it so it's released in core lemmy and all instances can benefit from that capability?

Not all instance owners may want all those features implemented. Not the same but kind of like how Beehaw doesn't allow downvotes while other lemmy instances do.

No downvotes is a feature toggle by the way.
