Selfhosted
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 like that idea, although I think we need some simpler guides as to what exactly one might he getting into if they're setting up an instance that's not just a domain name. (Costs, potential usage blowing up, legal issues with content, etc...)
Also, I really think there needs to be a smoother way to navigate between instances. I guess, so you're still aware of "jumping nodes", but also don't feel locked in there. (Although maybe I'm just a newb still haha)
@MonkeMischief oh i agree. Setting up an instance is not easy. And choosing a place on the fediverse can be tricky based on how you decide to interact over here. For example I'm not on lemmy but I use my hubzilla instance to interact with the communities I am passionate about which I find is really cool.
And it does take some time to really understand how this allworks together but once you understand it's fairly easy to use and navigate.
