Not to diss an open source project, but Faircamp is "just" a static site generator for artists that want to showcase their music. It has no storefront, can no communicate with customers, etc. People need a lot more than a nice-looking playlist .

If you are considering an alternative for Bandcamp, may I contact you? I am working on something that I hope can both be useful for artists looking for a mor stable income stream and music listeners who want an alternative to Spotify.

Shit, you are right. I forgot they went down this source-available hill.

n8n.io works pretty great for individuals and small teams, open source and self-hostable.

If you are looking for a system just for you and low on resources, I'd recommend https://gotosocial.org. Single binary, easy to setup and supports S3 storage.

Thunderbird is good enough for me I guess. I don't think it is slow, it handles my multiple accounts just fine. I don't have an overly complex email tbh, so my biggest requirements are only (a) how fast can I archive things (b) how easy it is to find things by searching. I also used evolution for a while, but thought it was doing more than I needed so I never cared about digging in deeper.

Obviously I'd need a webmail client

Why "obviously"? Plenty of open source, high quality email clients for desktop and mobile, and I can not think of any scenario nowadays where you'd be willing to access your email from an untrusted device anyway.

What do you mean? Are you talking about the software in general or that can't login into my instance specifically?

I wish we had Google Play Music again.

Not exactly Google Music, but I recently started working on a Funkwhale instance where people can have up to 250GB of space for their personal music collection and where I am planning to have a store front for musicians who'd like to sell/promote their own songs as well. 29€/year if you go to https://communick.com/packages/access. Sounds reasonable?

What's with the misinformation? This comment is from August 2023. Nitter is still going strong.

Running a VPS does not disqualify as self-hosted, but I do agree that this type of question is not really on-topic.

@[email protected], you'll be better off by asking on some other community on programming.dev or [email protected]

Last I checked, the people using XMPP are still running happily using servers and clients.

All 17 of them.

They could solve your last point by providing a community forum like Discourse or even Lemmy, and saying that support for the packaged software is an extra charge.
