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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Or even if it could provide RSS feeds of accounts, for following in a RSS reader.

Though excellent work!

I would like to add RSS, I don't think it's feasible https://cadence.moe/blog/2022-09-01-discontinuing-bibliogram

A much-requested feature I added early on was RSS feeds. This ended up getting quickly turned off for the main instance, because RSS usage was dwarfing interactive usage. Many of these feeds had been added to people's readers and forgotten about. Even today I still receive a decent number of forgotten requests for feeds — these forgotten feeds haven't returned useful data for more than two years. Feed requests aren't free. Bibliogram needs to make an outgoing web request, wait for it, and convert the response data. This also uses up a piece of Bibliogram's rate limit to Instagram, even if nobody's there to see the feed that Bibliogram generates.

I could add it, but have it disabled by default, so anyone hosting a personal instance can enable it.

Being able to set up personally hosted RSS feeds would be useful. If the feeds are fetched periodically, that could also allow archiving of accounts.
