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.

We recently set up a Dutch community on Signaal to share knowledge and ideas regarding IT and privacy. Are you a Dutch speaker and would you like to participate, send a message
I am dutch and spend many an hour at the intersection of IT and Privacy ... but this is the wrong community to advertise a local Signal group.
why?
Nothing to do with selfhosting
The group is about self hosting tips and privacy? And what would be the correct community then, does it even exist? This don't make sense xd
Not selfhosting AND privacy.
From the sidebar of this lemmy:
"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."
So its about self-hosting with certain qualities (not giving up privacy or lockin). Not about privacy in general.
Signal isnt selfhosted and does lock you in, albeit with a high reputation to not become evil.
Better lemmy would be https://lemmy.ml/c/privacy
??? Geezz its still a usefull initiative not everything has to be black n white michael jackson
You asked why and I gave an explanation where the 27 downvotes came from. So I think there is some agreement within this lemmy about being offtopic.
If that bothers you too much I suggest focusing on something more productive, as I will do.
Mag ik vragen waarom je voor Signal hebt gekozen i.p.v. Matrix, aangezien dat vaak gebruikt wordt op Lemmy?
Wij kozen voor Signal omdat het gebruiksvriendelijker is dan Matrix of SimpleX. Daarbij kunnen vooralsnog de meesten het beste bereiken door middel van Signal. Wel kozen wij voor een alternatieve groep op SimpleX. Die dient dus zover eveneens als backup. Wil je misschien onze groep joinen?
Would love an invite.
