BookWyrm is the federated alternative to GoodReads.
Getting some real Black Mirror vibes from this story.
It’s not selfhosted.
You don’t get federated automatically. On your own instance you will only see posts in communities that you subscribe to. What I did was set up a “bot” user that I used to subscribe to a bunch of communities that I might find interesting when just browsing the All feed but I didn’t want in my personal Subscribed feed. There’s a few tools that will automatically subscribe a bot user on your instance to all the top communities but I found just manually going through https://lemmyverse.net/communities and clicking subscribe as that bot user worked for me.
I also wanted something like this, but I don’t want every single community. I ended up making a not account that I use to subscribe to random communities I might have a fleeting interest in, but don’t want in my subscribed feed.
This was going to be my suggestion!
I don’t think it’s possible. iTunes requires a full OS install, so you’ll have to just run it on a VM. And Apple has things locked down so much that the only way to do full iPhone/iPad backups is through iTunes.
