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.

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 don't know what Mattermost is and clicking on the link that OP provided I only see a sign-up page. I don't know before signing up what kind of content to expect. Not quite enticing to sign up in that case on what looks like some random page.

Good idea but I am not sure this can take off. But maybe I am not the target population here.

It's discord like interface and I plan on only having selfhosted related content on it, mostly just for people to help one another in a more "well known" way of discord and real time chatting.

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.

👍 Thanks for sharing.

Weird your join link didn't work but Jupiter broadcasting server lead me to search and find this link

That's also where your argument from before comes in, as I don't use matrix. Never had an use for it, that's where the conflict for me comes in not wanting to create an account on a platform I don't personally use.

Mattermost I will have an use for personally and with friends, while matrix for me is unnedded and overkill for my needs, that's why I didn't go with matrix, neither on an already established server, or self host it.

True, but matrix does have the advantage of federated login, while Mattermost is 1 login per server. So I just wanted to add the information. Sure it might be overkill for you, but I'd wager most of the users here on Lemmy already have a Matrix account, so it would be much easier for them.

I did not mean to say that Matrix is better than Mattermost. They serve different needs.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I agree with you, they serve different needs.

Tiens @[email protected] ça peut peut-être t'intéresser

This is a simple script that monitors specific Lemmy communities and attempts to #hashtag new posts so that they are discoverable in microblogging services like mastodon.
