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.
Beginning of January 1st 2024 this rule WILL be enforced. Posts that are not tagged will be warned and if not fixed within 24h then removed!
Why?
Tags lets posts be more organized and easy on the eye. Take it as reddits “flairs”.
Why not wait until Lemmy introduces flairs?
I’m pretty sure many people will not see this post hence moderation will need to jump into this.
Is a pinned post, it appears at the top, it’s also on the sidebar. Posts without a tag will be requested first to add one and if in 24h they dont do so then it’ll be removed. I’ve been on this platform for 3 years and flairs haven’t been added yet.
So is this why people stopped posting here? Seems unnecessarily restrictive.
This post will be removed for not being tagged
Haha, well spotted, I’ll tag it for ya!
Is there a list of “tags” we should be referring to? I want to ask the community for help finding a self-hosted alternative to a rather niche application. Would that be [Question] or [Help] or [Recommendation] or what?
It’s on the side panel of the sublemmy
