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.

Hey folks, the title says it all... I am on the brink to open my own Lemmy instance and I'm looking for a name. I already own the following unused domains:

-lemmy.pw -voom.social -zeebo.social

Maybe you can even suggest a completely different name? The instance will be a general one.

Thanks!

@seafootball Was it hard to get it up and running?

Also, pewpew-lemmy.pw sounds fun to me =P

I recently setup one up and it wasn’t difficult.

Biggest issue for me was user error where I didn’t think about needing an smtp service to send emails. So just got a free one that allows 300/day

Where are you hosting it and what’s the cost? I’d spin one up if it wasn’t too expensive.

I started one on Linode, a 2gb shared vps. Seems to be running fine so far. Cost per month is $12.
