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.
No spam.
Posts are to be related to self-hosting.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or readme if you're providing a link.
Submission headline should match the article title.
No trolling.
Promotion posts require active participation, with an account that is at least 30 days old. F/LOSS without a paywall has exceptions, with requirements. See the rules link for details. Tags [CBH] or [AIP] are required, see the links in Rule 8 for details.
AI-related discussions and AI-involved promotional posts have additional requirements for tagging, as noted in Rule 7 and the AI & Promotional Post Expanded Rules post, and find example disclosures here.

you should know - photon selfhosted lemmy client is absolutely nice.
You can login from multiple acounts on differnet instances and effortlessly switch between them.
UI is just so much nicer than default lemmy UI.
you can run it in docker, or just use this instance: https://phtn.app/
Does it come with a secret blocklist?
I do t want it unless it comes with a secret block list
and I have to be on the blocklist.
I'd be fine if I'd be the only one on it, but that's crucial.
Make a PR. :)
Ai disclosure?
Oh it's not my project. I don't know. But lemmy world uses it
No obvious AI use in the github repo. So probably CBH, but better to get confirmation from @sanitation@lemmy.today .
Not my project I don't know. But lemmy world recommends it so I presume it's all kosher
understandable, but this community requires posts promoting projects that use AI to be tagged.
Its required for self promotion, there is no way for a third party to know the details to tag and disclose.
It would be like posting plex feature updates. There is no way for the poster to know whether or not any AI was used in development (though given the Plex trajectory, we all know, but thats a different matter).
so I could create slop and then promote it from an alt and it would be fine?
what's the point in having tags in the first place?
If you waited long enough to get past the account duration requirement and it was open source, where people could evaluate and comment on what they see, yes.
If it were paid/closed source, then no, not without using that alt constantly to meet the requirements.
The point in the first place was the large influx in promo postings that were made, as well as create filterable tags for users who are or are not interested in seeing AIT or AIP. It also means for those who create an AI involved project, no matter the level, aren't being bombarded with low effort, one word disparaging comments.
If you have another idea, or some way you believe a third person can have any realistic insight to provide a disclosure, you are welcome to create a meta discussion on it as there were for rules 7 & 8 already.
No, that would still be breaking the rules as that's your alt :)
Only possible AI thing I see is .zed in the .gitignore, but that's not an indicator of LLM usage. Plenty of people use zed with all AI features disabled.
I love photon, I replaced the default UI with it on my instance
