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.

@selfhosted Stick with Mastadon account or move over to Lemmy instance?

I'm currently self hosting my own mastadon instance, and noticed I can use the same account to post to Lemmy as well using mentions and the fediverse.

Is anybody else using mastadon to post to their lemmy instances? Would it make more sense to host a lemmy instance instead if I intent to post to lemmy more often than mastadon? Let me know your thoughts.

The two are pretty different, though. Lemmy is a link aggregator and Mastodon is a micro blogging platform.

By switching to lemmy you'd lose some of your desired functionality (IMO).

Maybe consider checking out kbin? It supports both link aggregation and microblogging, so it might be right up your alley.
