Selfhosted

40183 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 wonder if anybody here has tried some of the other failed reddit alternatives like Voat for a long enough time to be able to speak on how lemmy has fared relative to them.

I tried a few during other reddit exoduses, and they all felt... bad. Lemmy is the first one I've managed to actually stay on comfortably without being tempted back to reddit.

I'm contemplating moving my blog to write freely but they don't seem like they will last. I don't want to host it as I keep my servers unexposed.

Any access from the internet is a possible attack vector.
