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.

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.

The instances that have been developing custom features (IIRC lemm.ee and a couple others) have been contributing them back into the main Lemmy project, so everyone else ends up eventually getting them.

Edit: I've seen a community for instance owners and devs somewhere but don't remember the name, hopefully someone else remembers
