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:

  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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

This is a self-hosted sub. You are going to see a lot of anti-establishment, anti-corporation stuff here because it's a core principle and/or concern of many users looking into self-hosting. That tends to come with attached behaviors like you described.

While I would tend to agree that it's unfortunate that you have to wade through a lot of folks knee-jerk blanket commenting on certain topics, and that those screeching comments are annoying, Lemmy is generally a big tent, so you will need to accept their presence, the same way we have to just ignore all the AI Slop software presented here.

The price of freedom is accepting the screechers.
