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
Some instances (like mine and lemmings.world) have automated bots to clean up these spam posts everywhere. I think lemmy world has an automod as well, but maybe it's not working as well if you keep seeing these spam posts?
Them turning it up would be good. Also shouldn't there be a duplicate post check built into the platform?
They're not exact replicas. Enough a difference to fool the algorithm.
Interesting, any info somewhere on how to set up some of those auto mod bots?
I mean if we use the same filters these spams are easily recognised.

My bot has a readme with instructions and we're working on a docker image too: https://github.com/db0/threativore
Thank you!
