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.

this chart (from your link) shows that the change has stifled the activity a bit. maybe a 10-20% drop in new posts per day. which is not insignificant. so maybe subscribers are rising, but the number of posts has dropped and plateaued (so far).
But i dont think it will ever go away, it was also my go-to place for a long time. Hopefully more of the posters and commenters head here!
It surprises me too on some level because it does seem very obvious.
I've also learned on multiple occasions over the years that I value different things and I value them much more strongly than a large swath of the selfhosting community. That may speak to whether or not people selfhost for ideological, practical, or other reasons that I am unaware of but, at the end of the day, I find myself disappointed that the version of the selfhosting community that I imagined and thought I was on the same page with is simply not the selfhosting community that exists.

Well… I hosted nothing myself, but now I host my own Lemmy instance :o)
The issue is I'm keen on following the self-hosting / server specific content but generally I've got nothing exciting to add. I can offer upvotes and kbin boosts 🚀
Why would you care about getting banned from Reddit?
Because Lemmy has about 0.something % of the users that Reddit has and I still find useful some subreddit.
You got it all wrong, everyone is on Threads ................ Nah, I just subscribed to learn about starting some self hosting. I'm running a local media server, which was easy, but want to branch out to photo backup from my various phones/accounts. Getting nervous that Google will just close my account one day for no reason. Anyway, don't fret, the community doesn't need to be 💯 today, it'll get there.
I personally believe reddit will live on, that's just the way its going to be. I dropped off, but my account is still there.
