Is it possible to host a private, defederated, and completely isolated instance for use as your own social media platform?

  • I think I recall reading something about how it used to be something available from the UI settings, but I believe as it stands, there's no official setting in the admin panel to stop anyone else from being able to see your instance. You can disable open registration, and just not federate with anyone.

    Help! Instance syncronizing in a very weird way

    Hi, so I launched my very own instance. I'm posting from here, and hopefully this post makes it there. I subscribed to a few coms, but I'm getting outdated posts and the votes don't line up, also the comments do not all load. So I'm able to federate, but for some reason only some of the data is coming over to my server... Has anyone here been experiencing the same thing?

    UI is 0.18.2 and BE is 0.18.1

    I just wanna be able to browse other coms without having to constantly switch domain names and log in with another account just to participate.

    edit: Here's pics for comparison for a post on selfhosted.
