Selfhosted
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.

You might like Commento which is FOSS. You can self-host it (or fire it onto a free or low cost cloud host), and fun. It's more like a Lemmy/reddit format (comment up/down votes can be enabled) than masto but maybe you'll enjoy it.
Users can comment anonymously or you can enable basic verification steps. Decent moderation for if spam bots find you. Etc.
ETA I used to host my instance on Heroku's free tier and it was more than enough for what little traffic was coming to my site.
