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.

on kbin there was a long period of no federation and so I think we kinda ended up with this "kbin is kbin and then there's this other stuff" mindset. I think it helped ease a lot of us into this fediverse stuff lol. the analogy I use is email :) why pick yahoovs gmail vs protonmail? same idea.
Email, the true OG federated protocol.
Pretty sure that was Usenet
That analogy doesn't hold when yahoo can block gmail and proton can block all yahoo content, etc.
they can do that though. it just doesn't happen with big email providers. but many large email providers auto-block smaller ones.
Yep, so now its very difficult to run your own mailserver. Extrapolating this to Lemmy, I guess large instances will start autoblocking small instances by default.
Now we are federating, properly.
naturally, we're posting on [email protected] right now lol
