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.

Yeah, I definitely agree that open communities was/is a mistake. If a server is that large, it should be admin only. They can always run polls to gauge interest before making new communities.
Communities are the biggest problem. One solution would be to make community names more like a federation signature that only allows one community to have that exact name. Example: if lemmy.world has a community called !AITA, and you try to make a community on beehaw with the same !AITA name, it would not allow it and say "sorry that community name has already been registered by another instance".
Of course, the major issue with this idea is that one could defederate with lemmy.world, in this example, and make the community name anyway, then refederate. Who would keep the name? That's why I don't think this solution is ideal, but it's fun to share ideas and something to think about.
