Selfhosted

40149 readers

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.

I thought this was an interesting post and discussion on selfhosted. Thoughts?

Some great points, but it's nonsense to say r/selfhosted isnt about selfhosting. I've learned so much there.

As much as I like the interface and idea of lemmy, I think the content traffic is not enough for me.. and keep going back to reddit :/

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 days ago

That's simply a matter of numbers. More people = more content, but people can't seem to get past the fewer content so they don't join/stay.

[–] shapis@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago

Same. And it’s not just the amount of content.

The amount of times I’ve had a reply with someone obviously trying to be pedantic and argumentative saying “define common thing” is off the charts.

I spent an unhealthy amount of time on Reddit. Getting bored of Lemmy is a feature, not a bug. Embrace it.

Truuue!

I probably engage here a little much too, but I'm glad there's not a ton of "You also might like based on where your mouse hovered 0.4 seconds longer" panels on every single page!

Yeah it’s pretty amazing that there’s kinda no algorithm, you just see what you subscribe to in chronological order

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Huh? Are you sorting by new to have that opninion?

[–] shaserlark@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago

Ahaha I guess that must be the default of my client then

[–] hamsesh@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

In some ways that’s a pro for me! I like that Lemmy isn’t endless content that changes when I refresh unlike Reddit. It helps keeps me off my phone XD

But yeah I can see how that’s a con as well.

Too bad I like to use it during lunch break. :(

[–] IronKrill@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's likely not as bad as you think. :) It took a bit of adjusting for me realising I didn't have several endless AskReddit threads a day to scroll through, but for 99% of my usage it's great here. It's also nice being able to interact with posts while not being one of the first commenters. I get more interactions here than Reddit. The only things I go to Reddit for are specific subreddits like dashcam videos, but that's a once a month or perhaps less frequent affair.

Tbf the quality on Reddit really nosedived.
I frequented the sysadmin, mildlyinfuriating, homelab, spicypillow (and adjacent), AskMeReddit and some other subreddits.
The quality in some of the bigger and less moderated spaces is atrocious.
The most upvoted posts compare with actual spam on Lemmy but they prevail on Reddit.

Yep exactly. I've also noticed that a lot of subreddits are also run by mods pushing certain agenda's, removing anything they don't agree with. Doesn't make for a very healthy community.
