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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

From the readme:

As of the writing of this tool, and size of the fediverse (Jul 2023), using this tool, may result in disk space usage of around 2GiB/day, according to my own metrics.

Seems kind of steep. I only have 500GB allocated to my server. I feel like there's got to be a better way.

I have the feeling that this is extremely exaggerated. I only have 40 Gb in total and still have 23 gb free. I don't run the tool constantly, but run it every once in a while to make sure that my All has interesting communities. If it would be 2 gb/day I would be loooooong over my 40...
