Mattermost: Casual Selfhosters (mm.cronyakatsuki.xyz)

Hello, today I would like to announce the creation of a mattermost group "Casual Selfhosters".

I created it because I feel like there is a need for real time chat at times when it comes to helping someone with selfhosting and some aspects of communication generally work better in real time chat, than in a forum like setting like what lemmy does.

The server is hosted on a dedicated hetzner machine.

I would love for the mattermost group to grow alongside this lemmy community and be a good addition in helping other people get into selfhosting.

Hoping for good feedback to make the community even better and hope people will find it usefull if they are ever in need of real time chat to help someone across the globe.

I think mattermost is awesome (I have one myself)

But for this kind of group I think Matrix is a better fit, so you don't have to create one account per server you want to join

But great initiative none-the-less

I feel like matrix is an overkill for something like this personally, because I wan't to be motly only used for quick help with peple around the globe and matrix is more generally used to communicate with a huge amount of people around the globe.

Main reason also why I didn't go with matrix is because in my eyes it's still inmature and requires a good amount of maintenance, for what I think of as a simply a quick and dirty server to quickly help people in a more real time setting.

I don't mind people not liking the fact that it's a mattermost server and not wanting to sing up only for this community, it's their choice after all.

It could have been just a room on an already established server. like Self-Hosting on the jupiterbroadcasting server. It has around 1150 self-hosters or self-hosting interested people from around the world, ready to help.
