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:
-
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.

Next Lemmy update is going to have an option to block image posts (to remove low quality meme threads). People should stop turning text posts into image posts to avoid being blocked. I also find these hybrid posts quite annoying. You're making your post look like something it's not.
A post introducing a graphical web-based system would be remiss if an image of that graphical system was missing.
Of course you can block those posts (if that function is.enabled) , but you'd be missing out on many discussions.
This wasn't my intention. What does it make my post look like?
Don't listen to them. This post renders fine on both voyager and default Web mobile UI for world. You did nothing wrong.
So two mobile devices/UIs? Did you even understand the problem?
Yes. And it looks perfectly fine, like any other post, just with an image appearing as the thumb instead of the text-only icon.
The answer is no, not yes.
It makes your post look like an image (low quality) instead of a link or discussion (possibly high quality).
I'm on Summit and it's obvious from your post title and screenshot in my feed that this will be you presenting some kind of website or software. When clicked, the actual thread has your main post written out nicely.
I think if a filter like what's described is on its way, it's very poorly thought-out. Many interesting topics will include images; an album cover when discussing a band, your cat when asking for advice about said cat, etc. It's also fairly normal on Lemmy to add alt-text of images as plain text in the main post, so a filter would either include such posts as not image-only or exclude posts like yours. Seems like a bad system. I should think it's better for users to block meme comms.
Like crap. Next time, write an article on your website, add a featured image, and link to that
Preach!
