I thought this was an interesting post and discussion on selfhosted. Thoughts?

Some great points, but it’s nonsense to say r/selfhosted isnt about selfhosting. I’ve learned so much there.

    I community dedicated and in love with the idea of self hosting their own software yet avoid a self hosted alternative to a hostile service…

    I actually don’t think anyone in the subreddit is actually self hosting anything and if they are the irony is heavier than actual iron.

      As more of an outside observer here:

      When I was still using Reddit, it looked like most people in that community were just running personal home media servers using basic as fuck raspberry pi setups or just old hardware that could handle it, like maybe a modded Xbox or something.

      Here on Lemmy, it looks more like you’re all actual networking specialists hosting damn near everything from home automation to business-level server systems for your home business. You guys are serious; Reddit isn’t. Respect.

        I’m on both but got into the weeds thanks to reddit. The mods over there tried making an independent forum but it never got the momentum lemmy got.

        Yeah I’m not either that’s not the point. The point is using an alternative that is open and can be self hosted.
