I want to set up a collaborative writing/socializing platform for my friend group using something like Calckey/Misskey, and just want to know if this is possible.
The non Fediverse options all look very lacking, and are meant for corporate/business environments anyway. It really feels like there’s not many good and modern options for this sort of thing, but maybe there’s better alternatives. Who knows, I’m really new to this scene.
I believe I see options in my admin portal that would allow making your instance private. If that doesn’t do what you want I wonder if you could populate the whitelist with a phony address which would affectively defederate you from everything.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosted@lemmy.world
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).
