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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (donβt cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Matrix is a terrible experience, honestly. It's incredibly slow and their "servers" don't really function as a community as much as a series of chat groups. I'm not fond of opening my chat app and then staring at it for 10-15 seconds while it loads all the new messages. And yes, I've tried different servers.
Discord is feature-rich. And now has the option to submit posts, which drastically increases usability and searchability. But it does have a big problem with privacy and ads.
Projects like this are much better suited for something like Gitlab.
Element is the thing that's subpar (to be generous) compared to other chat apps. Element X is better for the features that have been implemented, but the current feature set is very incomplete.
Even desktop is more resource heavy than it should be. But yes, mobile is much worse.
Beg to differ. Not all of us want to be Beta_testers
Element on iOS is absolutely, definitely, slow!
Desktop is better or worse or the same?
Pretty much the same
