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'm currently running an instance on Ubuntu but I'm wondering if it can be moved to my windows computer?

Maybe but it doesn’t seem like a terribly good idea. All prior art for Lemmy, and most serious server stuff on the Internet, is on Linux. It would be a lot of effort and would result in a worse solution than the tools that already exist.

Everyone else here is saying it’s not recommended. I’d agree with that. But I’m super curious to hear whether we can, not whether we should! So, OP: I say give it a go and report back what problems you run in to!

I leaned no one on Lemmy are as helpful as they seem. Nor as nice... I gave up on trying to run my own instance... My life is too busy and hard to find time for this anyway...

Oh, I'm sorry that you found that :( Hopefully we can all help each other more :) If you have more time in the future I'm interested to hear how you go setting up Lemmy on Windows :)

Wouldn't recommend running production services on windows.

Wouldn't recommend running ~~production services on~~ windows.
