Father; husband; mechanical engineer. Posting from my self-hosted Lemmy instance here in beautiful New Jersey. I also post from my Pixelfed instance.

    I think Yunohost is great. It was easier for me to set up that trying to figure out Docker. I run a few sites including AdGuard Home as well as personal Pixelfed and Lemmy instances with it in a VM on an older Ubuntu box. That said, I’m stuck on Lemmy 0.18.2 without pict-rs because the update script to the latest version available on Yunohost (0.18.3 with pict-rs) is broken. Oh well!



  • Jellyfin and Yunohost are two projects that have simplified self-hosting and made it accessible for me. I just think more progress can be made in that direction.

    and yet, here we are, on lemmy.

    As far as I can tell, you are not self-hosting the Divisions by Zero Lemmy instance, so I’m not sure what your point is there. I am actually self-hosting my lemmy.crimedad.work instance with the help of Yunohost.


  • you also need to remember that this is literally a turn key product, that literally every cloud provider sells

    I am unaware of server products that I can just buy, plug in, and get up and running in minutes with my own ActivityPub instances, media storage/streaming, XMPP messaging, and etc. If they really exist, please share links.

    There’s certainly value in doing this stuff the hard way, but the goal should be for self-hosting to be as easy as signing up with Google, Facebook, Spotify, etc. There aren’t enough people with the time and curiosity to figure out the current state of self-hosting and make a dent in the three website problem.






  • It seems like there is a problem with whatever Lemmy UI you’re using. The post is formatted fine in the default Lemmy UI with the hashtags showing as normal hyperlinks: image

    I’m aware that hashtags don’t have a function in Lemmy, but the post is originally from Mastodon. Furthermore, in spoken English sometimes people will add “hashtag” as a prefix to words and phrases for emphasis. That said, @dessalines@lemmy.ml et al should definitely add hashtag functionality to Lemmy. It could be useful for post flair, for example, besides compatibility with the rest of the fediverse.

    Sorry if you don’t like cross posting. I think it’s a nice feature that helps more people see posts and find communities. It also helps me interact with commenters when I make a post originally to Pixelfed or Mastodon.
