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 folks, the title says it all... I am on the brink to open my own Lemmy instance and I'm looking for a name. I already own the following unused domains:

-lemmy.pw -voom.social -zeebo.social

Maybe you can even suggest a completely different name? The instance will be a general one.

Thanks!

I don't think there is a need for more "general" instances, unless it is a more or less private one for you and your friends.

Start a themed one... that is really needed for better decentralization.

Because it makes the federation more healthy. Although regional instances are also ok.

What does more healthy mean?

Put a bit more effort in your trolling please.

You're being vague. I don't see why your opinion is so strong here. And you aren't really explaining anything.

Use zeebo.social, or a subdomain of that.
