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.

Spacebar is a free, opensource selfhostable discord-compatible chat, voice and video platform.

  • Discord-compatible (Use all your custom clients/bots with minimal changes)
  • Selfhostable (Server)
  • Open Source (GitHub Organization)
  • Configurable (Configure every aspect and limits to your needs)
  • Decentralized (no abuse of power and doesn't have a single point of failure)
  • Extendable (secure and cross-platform plugin system)
  • Themeable (cross-platform theme system with design editor)
  • Secure (publicly audited and hosted FOSS software for transparent foundation in terms of security)

Currently there is no voice or video support in any Spacebar instance. This is a very difficult feature to get working, especially given that we must implement it the exact same way as Discord.com for client compatibility. We would be incredibly thankful for any assistance.

Damn.

Yeah I'd love to move my gang off discord but getting them to go back to team speak or vent is not happening

Mumble is another strong, open source, self-hosted option.

If only it didn't looked like a 20 year old software.

Maybe it's just me but I think the Mumble UI is way better than the Discord UI

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

Yay mumble!

And I agree: it's better. I think it's faster and that, IMHO, is where the power is. It can look boring like a hammer as long as it's intuitive ... like a hammer.

I don't know about the UX, but if you want peoples to use your app, it need to look nice.

I find the login page of discord intelorable, it has ugly EULA on it that I will never sign

[–] yonder@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Discord is also quite the resource hog. Trying to run the web version on weaker phones is a slog.

[–] lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 1 month ago

Some of the best stuff in the world looks like it's 20 years past a prime that isn't, because they're truly good eternal.

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago

It's voice chat, you choose a server and then minimize to tray, you never have to look at it...

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Especially on mobile.
