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.

Is it possible to change lemmy's domain after I have already started it once and produced some content? I am thinking of moving to a subdomain but I'm not sure if it will go smoothly

You can, but other servers will not recognize it as the same server.

There are however ways to run your server on a subdomain and make it appear as if it's still the original domain. Is that what you're looking for?

That might fit my needs. Could you explain in more details please?

/well-known/webfinger. If you use a reverse proxy on your main domain (example.com), you have it forward traffic from example.com/well-known/webfinger to subdomain.example.com/well-known/webfinger
