Well, it’s self-hosting, right. We each host our own server with our own self-hosting community. Alone. No other posters, commenters, or voters. Just each of us in isolation talking to ourselves about our hosting setup.

This is a dumb meme, there’s no such thing as self-hosting a community. A community only becomes valuable when you share it beyond the hoster, at which point it stops being self-hosted for most community-members. I believe Ruud did actually create this community, which means it is properly self-hosted as much as a successful community can be.

It is, but it’s also on a server that’s crippled by load. Each community having an instance makes sense as far as load goes.

Create a post

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.
  • 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.
