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.

Hello, I noticed that the ban list on my own instance pretty much populates daily with names I'm pretty sure I never banned. Couldn't find anything in the doc about this. Does anyone have a light to shed ? Have a nice day :).

As far as I understand

  • Bans of a user from their instance get federated so that your instance can do any necessary cleanup, as that user will not be able to post anywhere until unbanned, as users are strictly tied to instances.
  • Bans and other actions (mods deleting posts) in communities you follow get federated so your instance can take the appropriate action.
  • All of this shows up in your server's /modlog, and can be filtered by action and user the action was taken against. It will tell you exactly which mod took which action on which post/user/etc.
