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 (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Please don't expect the community to give you answers to your questions which you then delete right afterwards. Those of us who put time into answering your questions are not doing so just to serve your personal needs, we are here to help build a community knowledge base that others can search and reference.

This has become a chronic issue with Lemmy and its starting to feel like it's a waste of time to answer questions.

Well OP. Looks like your post resulted in a moderator resigning and the appointment of two new moderators in this community. As I've said previously, it was a moderator removing posts for a very far stretch interpretation of Rule 3, and not users deleting them after getting the answer.

Let's hope this results in a better community for the selfhosters here.

And I'll use your comment as my post here for a local mod appointment of my lw account!

...stretch by which party? in the sense that the post not really about self-hosting (and OP tried to use rule 3 in a stretched interpretation), or that the post was about self-hosting but moderator applied it in unnecessarily strict way? The way you phrased it seems like the former, but then why would that result in moderator resigning?

(I'm not a native English speaker so sorry if it should have been clear.)

To give you some context, I initially made this comment on OP's post. Then I followed up with this comment after the resignation of a moderator on !selfhosted@lemmy.world.

I was referring to the former moderator's very bizarre interpretation of Rule 3. You'll see in the modlogs that many posts that were clearly about selfhosting getting removed under Rule 3.
