Really interesting to scroll through and see. Picked up a couple of new tools to look into, too, thanks!
Wat?
I only need to send sign up and password reset emails for Jellyfin, I don't need to receive any emails back.
I meant more like... which server part are you hosting. Answer: Client...
Which service are you using for this?
Use anything... Mailcow or otherwise. Just don't expose the ports on your firewall/router to connect back to you.
I am disappointed ...
I sort of get it. When you self host mastodon or lemmy, you have to deal with the moderation that comes with it. That's a headache unless you have a ton of free time. Judging by the age distribution, I'm guessing most of us just want things to work so we can do what we enjoy.
@CosmicTurtle0 hosting a single user federated blog is also an option, you are only responsible for yourself and your friends you host. Not necessary to host public.
federated blog
I wonder what federated blog (or publishing platform) isn't stuck in pre-Docker era, though.
Yeah. While I can dockerize those applications, all I checked out lack modern features and concepts/designs. It all feels heavily outdated technology-wise.
@𝘋𝘪𝘳𝘬 I think thats the fun of it, different people building tools as per their knowledge/requirements, with time i'm sure someone will make something that you might find suitable :)
Not just moderation, but you are responsible for all content on your server, some of which may be illegal and hosting it is a IRL crime, but the sheer size of it is impossible to filter.

You can run those as single-user instances or with approval of users so you can use those instances for your family and/or friends only.
Lemmy uses activity pub right? 200 in a survey hosting similar stuff is not that bad IMO.
Why? I'm not particularly interested in ActivityPub, I just use Lemmy because it's the closest thing to Reddit w/o being Reddit. Once a better alternative shows up, I'm out.
I'm happy to throw some money at the admin of my instance, I'm not interested in hosting something myself, especially when things can break when different instances are on different versions.
What the hell is an ActivityPub platform?
ActivityPub is the protocol powering the Fediverse. Platforms include Lemmy, Mastodon and Pixelfed.
What are some interesting things to host?
The usual suspects: Mastodon (or mastodon-compatible servers like GoToSocial), PeerTube, Pixelfed, etc.
I just don't see the use of self hosting these just for myself. I guess that's why so little people do this?
