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.

As far as I can tell, it's not Discord, but an open source alternative. So I don't think it talks to regular discord servers, but you can use any Discord compatible client to talk to SpaceBarChat.

I don't think it talks to regular discord servers

So what does "Discord compatible" mean?

I tried this back when it was "FOSSCORD" and it did indeed connect to Discord.

It means that clients and bots for Discord will also work with this.

Same API, then?
