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.

I hope this post is not too off topic. I thought that it would be nice to see the address of all the small self-hosted instances of Lemmy (1~5 users).

lemmy.funkyfish.cool Because I already had Calckey running on that domain

Hey, I do not think that this is off topic at all. My instance is matejc.com

Orcas Enjoying Yachts admin checking in!

It says I have 6 users but 2 of those accounts are test users I created when I was getting everything setup. My friend and I are on there and that’s really it.

Edit: somehow I have 20 users now which is kind of neat. Just not sure how many are valid since I had open registrations for a while (it’s still open to users but with verification and captcha enabled).

voltage.vn

Closed registration while I fix some stuff, which might be a while. So I've only got 2 human users or so.

Last I checked mine is the only instance in Vietnam, but that might not be true anymore.

Mine, though it says 202 users, is only actually 2, me and a test account, cause it got botted due to me leaving open registration. Luckily found out about 10 seconds after it started, but still, annoying. Though yea, just myself on here for now. :D

Oof that must have been annoying to clean up, at least you caught them early!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I still haven’t, but I’m going to right now! :P

https://pricefield.org for me. i've seen the move to lemmy, thought for half a second about my favorite fandom, and knew it had to happen.

it's been a rougher ride than i expected but it's hella exciting

Hosting mine at hyperfair.link. Initially thought about using a domain I already had, but realized it had my name in it so registered a new one with a random name I came up with so I don’t doxx myself. Picked the .link tld because it somewhat fit with the Lemmy idea and it was cheap on AWS (where I already have other domains and what not).

mylem.me

it's intended to be a highly reliable little instance. For now it's closed, though, until I figured out how to properly handle pictrs' internal state.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Mine is Lemmy.quad442.com which is a car that me and my dad are big about

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

New instance less than 20 people ATM. If you can't see it from the username it is Kerala.party

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (4 children)

lemmy.mildgrim.com

It's a bit longer than most but I do run a few other things under mildgrim.com but maybe I should've gone with like l.mildgrim.com instead to keep it shorter.

But a good self-explanatory URL is always a boon.

Can anyone tell me the advantage of selfhosting Lemmy?

I have my Raspberry Pi which is only doing pihole atm and I've got an M2 Mac mini with some spare resources with docker installed so I've got hardware for it but what does it actually do?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I’d like to know the same

I host my public stuff like lemmy at inu.is. Mostly because I wanted something short and cute, and .is got a lot of nice short domains up for grabs.

https://ramram.ink but I only use subdomains, I've not hooked anything to the domain itself.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm on jamie.moe, I like to collect domain names that are just my name.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wow, good job for the generations of your family, having a name that would one day be a TLD. Some awesome foresight, there.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Sorry for the confusion, but Moe isn't my last name, just the jamie part. I also own jamie.tools and jamie.today.
