I hope this post is not too off topic. I thought that it would be nice to see the address of all the small self-hosted instances of Lemmy (1~5 users).

lemmy.mildgrim.com

It’s a bit longer than most but I do run a few other things under mildgrim.com but maybe I should’ve gone with like l.mildgrim.com instead to keep it shorter.

But a good self-explanatory URL is always a boon.

Hello Sebastian

^^ And hi to you, I don’t think I caught your name? Or do you prefer Ellipse?

Ellipse will do fine. While I admire your willingness to connect you account to you real identity, I enjoy the anonymity (or pseudonymity) internet provides. Have a good rest of the day Sebastian!

The good thing is you can have both right? I can be the public me on this account and enjoy the perks of that, which include a sense of legitimacy, vulnerability and that I have something at stake when I stick my neck out. Then I can start the VPN, log on to a completely different account and be the private me. Though these days I find that less and less appealing. The ability to do so I will defend, and I don’t blame anyone who wishes to be anonymous for no particular reason. But to me it’s a lot of work for no, to me, tangible gain.

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:

  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.
