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:
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
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.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

I wish there was a simpler way to keep PixelFed private; I get that there is a lot of focus on the fediverse, but this can also serve as a private image/video sharing platform for close friends and family.
Being public by default creates a blocker for the average person joining it.
I can't figure out how to make videos private. I signed up specifically to share pics/vids with my family, but I don't want everything open to everyone
If you go to your profile, there is a setting to turn it private; after that you should have an option on your posts to keep them private or public
Grew up on White Oak, wild but very cool seeing it in your username. 👍
