As far as I know, they never claimed Lemmy was entirely self-hosted. Their intention was likely to say it can be, in which case decentralized would’ve been more clear…
The original commenter said that “Lemmy is self-hosted”. This is what this comment thread was about. It sure is decentralized, not really self-hosted, even though you can host it youself.
Edit: read another comment wrong
I’m aware of the original comment. I also agree that Lemmy can’t be referred to as self hosted in the same way that Plex can, for example. I simply think they meant to say “can be” self hosted instead of “is”.
Just look at their comments. They full on say it’s a self-hosted platform no matter what, even though most people don’t host it and all of them don’t have to host it.
