So far nobody explained one simple use case - self-hosted Instagram. How does that work? I want to see the pictures of my friends, and they want to see mine. And I also want to see the pictures of some influencers. What's the self-hosted Instagram setup that makes this work, while all the involved parties are self-hosted? | ||

You might enjoy having a look at how atproto (which powers Bluesky) solves this: https://atproto.com/articles/atproto-for-distsys-engineers TLDR: Self-hosting is the source of truth for data; apps aggregate over it. | ||

when you follow somebody, you put their public url in a list, then when you open the app it requests the photos from everybody on the list? I see no reason why everybody could not run a web server on their phone. | ||
