Selfhosted

54761 readers

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.

Isn't it better to stop using Instagram at all? Insted of trying self-hosted shenanigans..

its better to quit heroin, but safe injection sites are good for public health

Still easier to uninstall an app than dealing with abstinence syndrome.. but if you think beyond that stop watching asses on the internet is like stop doing heroin. So finally I think what you say is fair.

I don't use Twitter nor insta, but sometimes I get shared a link and nitter handy to check it out without an account. So I applaud this

This is how I use front end apps. Other than the data contained in the posts, I have no interest in Insta, FB, et al. Similar to how I use RedLib for Reddit because, despite Reddit turning into a cesspool, there are still some great technical subs that contain valuable info. Interacting on Reddit tho, is a hard pass.

I'm not "using" Instagram actively, but sometimes I want to see a public profile and it doesn't let me. Didn't check this out yet but if it doesn't need a login it could help with this

This doesn't let you interact with Instagram, it just lets you view profiles/posts
