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.

<tap, tap, tap> Is this mic on?

With the loss of lemmy.fmhy.ml I decided I would add a Lemmy instance to my virtual server rack. This is a test send as much as anything.

First thoughts... The documentation and the example configs could possibly be a bit clearer. Not sure how I would reword them though. Also, there has got to be a better way for a smaller instance to begin seeing communities than browsing lemmyverse.net and then manually searching for the communities from your new instance.

TIL .sh is a valid TLD

seems a dangerous idea, even worse than .zip (I clicked on your title and i went to visit http://hello-world.sh)

It has interesting uses but I agree it’s more than a teeny bit dangerous. https://getamp.sh/ uses it to simplify the install command.

You can use https://lemmy.world/c/lsbsupport to populate your server! Do notice, database size will grow, as per expected.

This link and the associated community appear dead.

Following that link directly is giving me a server error, and it doesn't bring anything except up in search except your comment. Is there a particular way I'm supposed to use it?

What happened to lemmy.fmhy.ml?

[–] nyakojiru@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Their domain was killed by Mali government because they decided giving free .ml was a mistake . Lemmy.ml is in danger too or any .ml instance

Well. Shit.

Hope the .world is safe for now. Since you know.. It's the world.

only two-letter tlds are controlled by specific countries. i forget who owns the specific tld for .world but i doubt they can pull this trick, there's a lot of competition there

icannwiki.org says a company called Identity Digital owns a number of TLDs, including .world
