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.

I find this comment section a prime example of dickish hivemind seething over nothing.
There's a dude, obviously quite fresh in the ways of Mastodon. He probably doesn't realize all the nuts & bolts supporting the system and how it all works. He is asking a question that is logical, but it needs clarification, like "it doesn't work like this, my man".
Instead he gets "Hsssssssssssssss, selfhost it, hsssssssssssssssssssss, interloper, hsssssssssssssssssss, you want to destroy this place, hssssssssssssssss..."
Get a life, eejits.
Your post is more offensive then the others.
Not to mention that the OP is open for interpretation, and it came across (at least to me) as another entitled person moaning about a free service.
Next to that, teaching people about the selfhost option is actually what lemmy is all about. Not beeing owned by a single corporate entity, so endusers have freedom to choose.
If lemmy want to survive, it depends on people who know how to selfhost it.
Grow up.
I agree with you. Lemmy seems to have a lot of entitled people that stifle freedom. It's pretty disappointing.
I always thought "touch grass" was a stupid saying on reddit. But on here I've really wanted to use it. Like ...get outside and see the world is chaos and you're not that significant or special.
Yeah.
Those people seem to migrate from Reddit, but still carry it in their hearts and minds. 😑
Thanks! As you, I thought that this was a community to share thought and knowledge. In fact a couple of guys here pointed out that I could solve my problem accessing this community in another instance, not in the better way, but at least that was helpful!
Yeah. It's good that there are users who actually take time to explain some stuff, rather than just hissssssss like rabid vipers merely because somebody - oh no, what a preposterous idea! - asked a harmless question.
They are making an assertion as if it is a statement of fact...and they are, in fact, wrong. That's ignorant and not helpful for discussion or helpful for understanfing and solving the actual issue. If they had actually asked an innocent question it would be different, but they didn't. That is why the responses are the way they are.
No. The responses are the way they are, because people who gave them are already thinking they joined some elitistic "muh sikret klub!" group.
Simple "eh, it won't fix the problem, and here's why and how YOU can help" would be preferable, but no, special elite force of lemmy underground is too privileged to bother.
Thank heavens not everyone is like that. Saves the number of times I have to hit "block the idiot" button.
