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.

Is there any benefit to host my own instance?

Yeah, I'm running on an instance of just me and my wife, biggest downside is needing to subscribe to communities before we get content, but its sooo much faster.

I almost think this is a blessing because you don't get so overwhelmed with stuff you don't care about and only see what you're looking for. But yes the UI for it is not very good yet.

I've taken to just blocking the more popular communities I don't care about, like sports stuff

Once I subbed to a few things now it seems my all feed gets content from servers and communities I'm not subscribed too. Just took a bit. Mostly from smaller foreign ones right now tho.
