We have a rule that submissions be centered around self-hosting. Framasoft is not self-hosting, but this post will not be removed because Framasoft’s services are built on software that CAN be self-hosted. We would encourage readers to explore this ‘under the hood’ aspect of Framasoft.

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.
Resources:
- selfh.st Newsletter and index of selfhosted software and apps
- awesome-selfhosted software

That's pretty impressive. I didn't realize Framasoft has been going for 20 years. Even more impressive. I've never used any of the services available, but I sure have recommended them a lot.
Wow I had no idea how many services they provide and they do some serious numbers.
And that’s after they’ve tried to promote alternatives to themselves, via CHATONS!
love framasoft
