  • Fedi doesn’t support secure communication, that’s why (the last time I dove into the subject) lemmy has a profile field for yer Matrix account. Encrypted communication. Mails are usually hosted on “reputable” services and has some sort of privacy agreement, something I’ve yet to see on a fedi site.

    And if you think of lemmy or mastodon as a communication service rather than a publishing platform, you’re probably being spied on more than you expect.

    Fedi logins would require an account backend, which is quite a way aways from the fediverse as far as I know. Not to mention it would require a stable, permanent fedi provider with absolute trust.

    For a simple e-mail server you could use a server management suite like YunoHost, comes with a working mail server right out of the box. For only recieving registration mails and notification you wouldn’t even have to mess with online spam filters due to not being GAFAM.

    Someone mentioned UnifiedPUSH, which is nice but has very limited platform support at the moment as it has to be added to every single site and app. As far as I know it also sends notifications only using transport encryption so the server admin would have access to your notifications. Better to self-host, best to self-host at home on your own hardware.










  • Wallabag has the same RSS features and can export to several formats, epub included, but the annotation system is only supported in the web interface. Even the official android app doesn’t support it. No Wallabag client on any platform supports self signed certs so forget about anything but web UI if you run it on a closed LAN.

    Because according to the devs it’s more secure to run a public facing server with a CA backed cert that on a closed LAN which I VPN into with a self-signed cert. Even a toggle to allow it is too dangerous.
