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.

I made this tool to help self-hosters, new admins, or smaller instances have more global and updated content on their instances.

This is the similar to Lemmy Community Seeder but is designed to be run periodically to capture new communities, and include EVERYTHING by default.

Subscribing to 100 communities you care about will result in a very lively feed of stuff that is interesting to you, while generating a tiny percentage of the federation load this approach does.

It was a lot of work, but this is what I did (not 100 communities, but enough). I browser all on lemmy.world for days, finding communities I wanted to subscribe to. Then I subscribed to those on my account on my private instance. When I want more communities, I go back to lemmy.world and find more.
