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.

I've never explored the Matrix. Reddit use to be the only 'social media' type outlet that I frequented, and now Lemmy. Total Accounts: 2,222,678. That seems significant.

In hindsight the accounts counter was incorrect it was adding up all the accounts from every room without considering that many of the same accounts come from different rooms. I'll have to add a deeper tracker which I don't think is necessary to track individual accounts, outside of the scope of the activity tracker.

So, for the clueless (me), what is Matrix. I hear people talk about it. Is it a chat platform, forum platform like Lemmy, or other. Might as well ask the stupid questions.
