Please add a single line of description of the software for those who don't know. The name gives no clue.
If you tell me what general self hosted community you're not subscribed to, I'll confine my posts to there so that they don't bother you.
Don't think it was meant the way you interpreted it. A little tagline/description just adds a lot of value to a post. Something like this:

Could you add one?
I feel that self-hosted communities are full of smart and capable people with the ability to click a link. That said, If I degraded the user experience of the community subscribers I'm happy to remove myself. There are more than enough general self hosted communities on Lemmy, each of them fit different groups to different degrees. If it's so important to the members of this community to post descriptions, I'm happy to post in a community where it won't impact the enjoyment of members.
Hey there!, No need to take it personally. Thanks for the post, I happen to know what navidrome is and found this post helpful.
A tag would be helpful for others, not required but I think the feedback came from a good place.
I use Navidrome myself, and I still think it would be nice for people to know a little bit about the software in an update announcement post.
Seems like a very reasonable request, I don't grok the vitriol in your response.
Good afternoon. Vitriol? I'm not sure how you interpreted my post, but my intention was that in order to preserve the user experience of the person making the request, I would post elsewhere. That's a concession I'm happy to make.
You know what you sounded like.
It's a small text addition for context, not a big ask. Most of these upgrade posts in this community have people asking the same thing, so they can discover new software.
Ultimately, though, it's your choice.
I'm genuinely unsure in which way I could possibly sound nicer telling someone that I'm willing to go anywhere where something that they don't like doesn't effect them?
On the off chance that you truly don't understand:
The nice thing to do would be to accept the feedback and add a short description. It's confusing to others why you are staunchly opposed to performing that small courtesy, and instead jump to never posting here again.
Me: does something
Someone: hey, do that another way
Me: If you tell me where you won't see it, I'll go do it my way there as I like doing things my way
Someone else: You're being rude
Me: I'm just saying I'll go somewhere else
You: The nice thing to do would be forced labour
Me:
Congrats on all the labor you saved.
If you think folks here are uniquely unreasonable you could try lemmy.world/c/selfhosted .
