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.

Compared against the predominant incumbent social media platforms, the fediverse is very small.
information sources:
if the fediverse gets to hundreds of millions of users, we'd better hope that we solve for moderation.
I don’t care how big or small it is, as long as it remains real.
I believe I’ve seen more organic conversation in the fediverse than I have on any other platform.
It’s either bots, ads or ad bots everywhere else.
Being tiny makes it less appealing to the megacorp cunts that would want to ruin it.
hell yeah
What percent of humans use facebook! When take out children to young to use fb, people with out internet, what is the actual percent.
Snap is still alive? I haven't heard name in quite a while.
So that's why Instagram is the way it is, i assumed it was fairly small but it has attracted a rather toxic userbase and i don't actually enjoy it anymore.
It used to be a place where i could share my joys and people with similar interests would follow me because they enjoy my joys too.
But now it's just tiktok, at least i assume seeing it's all reels and loud noises.
Good.
So this is the Pluto of the internet?
To be honest, despite the smaller community, I feel more at home in the Fediverse than ever I did in those big, bloated, commercial communities.
