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.

Hey there! I was wondering of how you might easily share your instance with others? I've created one mainly for nordic people, but I am struggling to "advertise" it to people. Have any tips for a noob at lemmy instances? Thanks in advance! Oh, and if you are by chance interested in joining, then just go to my account, it's hosted there.

I 100% agree here. Each instance should focus on a single topic. It makes no practical sense that there are multiple identical communities across different servers.

It doesn't make sense to have identical communities across different servers, but does it make sense to let an instance administrator to "own" a community? We'd be running into the same issue as we did with reddit.

I think the communities themselves should be federated, but I don't know how we'd enforce any kind of rules then.
