Not everyone has the possibility to self-host

[-] teije9@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 months ago

you can join public instances, and maybe even make them set it up for you.

While you are technically correct, most people vastly overestimate the cost of self hosting a (matrix) server. Mine costs like 5€ a month with domain and we use it as a group of 5 people.

Late to the party. So like this sever is just a VM or container in the cloud you're paying for?

[-] Black616Angel@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago

It's a virtual server, so not really a hardware server, but no container either. It's when multiple servers share RAM, CPU and other things on a big cluster, but each behaves like a normal server. The 5€ in this case even includes the domain. So it's more like 3-4€.

Can you get that to work with all messages or only a few groups you have to setup manually? Was looking into it before I started self hosting but didn't find it desirable at that time and just resorted to do what anon did.

all messages. and it works really well!

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
