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:

  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.

Not Lemmy, unless the post tags a community.

Missed opportunity there.

Giscus / utteranc.es use github discussions/ issues to do comments so that might be an option

For one of my projects i setup remark42 which does allow anonymous comments. You can also set it up to allow logging in to a few different platforms. 7 months and no issues.

Isso is another one i had looked at which can do comments without an acct
