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

So I did figure out that yes, #Mastodon can federate #Lemmy and #Kbin content. The problem is that Mastodon doesn't know what to do with it, so it (the group) looks like a user that boosts all posts and comments.

I found myself browsing the "federated group" @selfhosted over on https://kbin.social, as I think Kbin has a nicer UX for it.

I didn't really want to create a separate account for group stuff, but that might be what we do in the short term. 🤔

Most versions of Mastodon strip all formatting after its developer Gargron made an Executive Decision™.

@ThorrJo @selfhosted That's what I thought too. Seeing some of the discrepancies across Lemmy and KBin made me curious to try it. Many instances run the Mastodon Glitch branch for this reason (I don't, as I'm treating my server as a research project, and IMO the stock experience is more important).

That said, I've heard folks parroting that some form of markdown is coming to mainline Mastodon, though I haven't seen an announcement. I'm assuming Rocko simply said he wasn't against it anymore.
