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.

New Lemmy Post: Forgejo v1.21 is available (https://lemmy.world/post/8799740)
Tagging: #SelfHosted

(Replying in the OP of this thread (NOT THIS BOT!) will appear as a comment in the lemmy discussion.)

I am a FOSS bot. Check my README: https://github.com/db0/lemmy-tagginator/blob/main/README.md

I’m curious, why is this bot currently being downvoted for almost every comment it makes?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I don't know about other people, but I find these comments noisy. I'd rather just see replies to the post from actual people.

Please, just block the bot and you won't see it again. If there was a way to make the replies from the bot not appear on lemmy, I would add it, but it's not possible.

Hey no problem :) I totally understand and read through the linked README. FWIW I find the fact that Lemmy is in Rust, pretty... tricky. Getting Lemmy to run on my OpenBSD server started with a couple of crazy segfaults!

yeah I guess maybe the formatting and the verbosity seems a bit annoying? Wonder what the alternatives solution could be to better engage people from mastodon, which is what this bot is trying to address.

edit: just to be clear, I’m not affiliated with the bot or its creator. This is just my observation from multiple posts I see this bot comments on.

I wonder if perhaps wrapping the majority of the text in a spoiler would work. Though I don't know if that translates over to Mastodon (if not, it might look a bit funky on that side).

Unfotunately mastodon doesn't support markdown, and even trying to do hyperlinks is an exercise in frustration. The integration between lemmy and mastodon sucks atm. It's part of why the bot exists.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Ah I see, that's unfortunate then. For what its worth, I still think the bot is a great idea for discoverability and bridging the two services together! I hadn't seen it before since I usually have bot users muted and happened to see this comment chain while logged out.

I've given it a follow from my Mastodon account since I do tend to miss quite a few cool Lemmy posts it seems, and I think it'll help me find some communities in general that I'll want to subscribe to from over here.
