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.

So, imagine I'm using any sort of streaming server. Is there ANY of them that have the ability to suggest new stuff, which is the number 1 and only reason I still use Spotify?

If anyone could answer this including the setup they have to run it, that would be awesome.

Spotify just shows you want they want you to listen to, just like any other streaming service. I've found more cool music within the past few years thanks to music communities than I ever did from Spotify, not to mention the giant amount of music that isn't even on Spotify to begin with.

Listening to the radio also helps. The BBC Sounds website will tell you all the tracks played in a programme for any of their radio stations.

maybe in the UK, but US radio is trash.
