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:

  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.

Every time I try to access this community, ther's some kind of problem with the server. If you have a look at the status page, it's almost all orange/red. The problem aren't DDoS attack since the server is behind Cloudflare protection. Admin/mods, why don't you move this community to a different ~~server~~ instance? I'm not accusing anybody, I know that maintain a server can be a challenging sometimes, I just want to enjoy this community!

Please!

What's wrong with that? I've started here some months ago and I mainly follow this community.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The problem is it's the largest and is being attacked. Use a different instance and you'll have no problem accessing this community. If it weren't for people posting about the outages, I'd never even know.

This community is on lemmy.world so yes, there would be problems

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I honestly haven't noticed. For me to see the posts they simply need to get pushed, which is pretty lightweight. And if Lemmy.world crashes after and stays down for a few hours it won't impact my ability to view the post. For a lemmy.world user the instance needs to be up for them to view any content.

In a way yes, when I post a comment, no one else will be able to see it while the site is down. But it eventually will go through when the site is up. And because I'm browsing from a different instance, I can see all the content even if lemmy.world is offline.

Because you could go to another instance and the people who like it here would stay on this instance. You sound like you have an agenda but none of us have slightest idea of what that would be.

I actually didn't think about it.Icm on Lemmy, but I'm not a Lemmy specialist so I didn't know that I could go to a different instance and access this communit indirectly. Thanks

P.s. I didn't get the agenda part.

No problem, I'm glad you understand now. It sounds like it was a misunderstanding.

P.s. I didn’t get the agenda part.

Unknown people are trying to shut down Lemmy.world with ddos attacks and this seemed like you were unknowingly agreeing with them. I didn't want to assume you didn't understand lemmy and you were trying to shut it down in your wording, so I think we all were scratching our heads too.

I wish lemmy.world a bright future, otherwise I wouldn't have created my profile here..

Thanks for the clarification!

I don't think you've read this yet, but you can sign up for many instances at once so if lemmy.world is down, you can go to the other instance immediately by either going to your alternate instance's home page, or having an app like liftoff where it lets you switch immediately in your profile. Liftoff is open source and free as well. That way, you don't have to leave Lemmy.world, just have a backup if it's down. I highly suggest this route, I have 4 backup instances, some with the same name but I like world the best since it seems the most like reddit.
