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:

Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
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.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

New Community Rule: "No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports." (lemmy.world)

Due to the large number of reports we've received about recent posts, we've added Rule 7 stating "No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports."

In general, we allow a post's fate to be determined by the amount of downvotes it receives. Sometimes, a post is so offensive to the community that removal seems appropriate. This new rule now allows such action to be taken.

We expect to fine-tune this approach as time goes on. Your patience is appreciated.

Why? Why would you remove a post that some people deem “low effort”? People can just ignore the posts if they think it’s low effort.

More censorship and gate keeping has never been an good option.

Because you should take time to write a good question that's clear and shown you've done research. This should be understood on every forum.

Because it's clutter and annoying to see "Heyyy, is jellyfin a good video app?" ad nauseam, when a simple search would answer their question faster and without wasting everyone's time and energy.

Modlogs are visible, if there's truly a censorship issue then we're free to upsticks and move to another community. That's the advantage of the Fediverse.

Which other self hosted communities are there on the fediverse with any real number of users? None. Lemmy being decentralized doesn’t solve the problem of dictators mods, just like saying “just make a new sub and move there” on reddit doesn’t work.
