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.

We're at a great nexus for Lemmy here, with so many users (including me) giving up Reddit for good and moving to the federated universe.

One thing I loved and will miss about Reddit are the sports-related subs I had -- large league subs (like NBA and NFL) and smaller team subs.

There are efforts to organize new communities across Lemmy servers (including some on lemmy.world), but I see a great opportunity to start a new server focused on sports and team subs.

Why not just make these communities on an existing server?

My thoughts are -- right now there are various team and sports subs across many servers. The natural expectation is eventually one of these team or sports subs will become the main community people will subscribe to. Having a sports-specific server will expedite this process, and will give sports fans a one-stop shop for where to go to subscribe.

My goal would be a server instance people would know is the 'source' for the largest sports communities.

Tell me I'm dumb, or provide me constructive feedback, or let's talk more about setting up a server!

Cheers
