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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

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?
Speed of development. It could take months for a PR to get into Lemmy core and then a new release.
Things that get into Lemmy core have to be well thought out and the core Devs have to want them in there.
Running custom code is a way to make changes without having to get their approval, and if it proves popular enough, then maybe they'll implement it upstream.
