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.

MODERATORS
Slightly unrelated: is having your own instance and then federarating, just like people do with Mastodon, also equally valuable with Lemmy?
It’s what I moved too. Allows me to be in control of my account and be less subject to aggresive moderation. I can still participate I. Aggressively moderated communities but may not be cut off as easily if they decide to defederate suddenly like what happened with lemmy.world and beehaw (which I’m not judging, just don’t want an account on one instance to be suddenly thrust into relegation).
I may open my instance up to other users more but don’t intend to host communities since I don’t have the time nor the inclination to moderate people behavior or spammers.
I'm not sure what exactly you mean by valuable
It's certainly easier on storage. Doesn't Mastodon cache like, every image to your instance?
