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.

Awesome, that is how it is done! Kudos to you πŸ‘

I'll probably also make my location specific instance public once I got a nice landing page for the main domain as I want to add a few other services and not only Flohmarkt in the medium term.

Edit: AFAIK the 50km range actually only specifies what other Flohmarkt instances to federate with, i.e. if someone else sets up an instance with a location within 50km of the one you set for your instance then their posts will show up on the all feed of your instance, otherwise they will not. There is nothing really stopping people from posting things outside the 50km range right now, but that might be an interesting feature for the future as well.

Which other location specific services do you have in mind? I've been thinking about similar things on and off. Mobilizon is a thing, and something with groups but I'm not sure what would work for locals.

I was thinking about activity tracking stuff like Wanderer or DiveDB... as my Flohmarkt instance would be also more outdoor stuff themed. But yes event management stuff like Mobilizon or Ganzio, or (non-federated) Lauti or Karrot might be an interesting option as well.

I mostly thought about a federated demokalender, but I really don't want to moderate it or have my name in the Impressum tbh
