Selfhosted

40154 readers

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I thought this was an interesting post and discussion on selfhosted. Thoughts?

Some great points, but it's nonsense to say r/selfhosted isnt about selfhosting. I've learned so much there.

I joined over 18 years ago. I agree Lemmy and Fediverse has a future, however online engagement has been falling for many years. I don't expect it to reverse, since most people will be dealing with rising problems in their personal life.

@eleitl hopefully good sense will prevail over time. I always enjoyed having a personal website and federated protocols allowed me to do so while simultaneously having the ability to stay connected to the rest of the federated web which by itself is a great model. Add to it no ads, algorithms or engagement shenanigans this is going to be a healthier way to connect. But it'll grow slowly since the learning curve is quite steep for the average person.
