    I selfhost on a cheap VPS I found on LowEndBox. The security setup (not SimpleLogin) was more involved than SimpleLogin. Pretty easy to get working and I’ve had not a single issue in 1.5 years of selfhosting it. I pay $11/yr for the VPS compared to $30/yr for SimpleLogin.

    With regard to your specific questions - I’ve only selfhosted for myself with one domain. You can add multiple users and domains though.











  • I think the multiple communities of the same topic across different instances is a mistake honestly. Information/discussion should be concentrated, not spread about a bunch of places.

    I read on here they are working on a method that would allow communities across instances to merge. I hope that happens.

    Imo, federation should mean the same communities are replicated across all instances. If an instance wants to house its own content, they can maybe make a community that isn’t replicated to all the others but accessible nonetheless by everyone (ie Piracy community, maybe not every instance owner wants to replicate that to their instance).

    I dunno, the bifurcation of communities just seems like a mistake and less efficient than everyone in the same place sharing knowledge and ideas.


  • Excellent app so far. There’s a couple of things right off that bat that the app needs imo:

    • Tap comment to collapse the chain/thread
    • Small main screen view where images/previews are on the left or right side with the title of the post next to it (a la Apollo, and now an option in Memmy)
    • Swiping down/up on an image should close it
