Actually an instance dedicated to self hosted stuff would be great. We could have communities specifically for things like home lab, media hosting (Plex, Jellyfin, Emby), unRAID, TrueNAS, shit posting, hardware discussions, general conversations, etc.

This would reduce the strain on lemmy.world and give us all a dedicated home for more niche topics without posts getting buried

Something like selfhost.edu/c/jellyfin or self.host is a great name too, if I was in the position to do it I would haha

Unfortunately, you can’t get .edu domains without being a school

Someone already owns selfho.st, wonder when they are starting up the selfhosted Lemmy instance

But aren’t there already instances that are focused on these topics, like lemmy.ml or reddthat.com?

Well those instances are general ones. I am specifically talking about an instance dedicated to self hosting with communities dedicated to topics around self hosting

That was the idea behind borg.chat but I was a bit late to the party :)

we need a tool to migrate communities then, so we can create a instance about selfhosting and migrate every community there

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.
