Codeberg runs on Forgejo, which you can selfhost. (If you wanna try, let me know, I can create an account for you on https://forgejo.world/). It has (or will have) activitypub (federation).

Friendica is nice, I’d say try it (https://friendica.world/), but host it yourself if you like it. Personally I use Sharkey (https://sharkey.world/) which you can use like Mastodon, but with longer posts, and you can create pages (like this one https://ruud.social/@ruud/pages/postgresql ).

After trying it for a while, I’ve now bought a license. Really cool app.I only have an issue with scaling, but I created an issue in Github for that. Edit: nvm, I just failed in finding the right setting :-)

This looks very nice. A question, we use Teleport, and it does discover all hosts. But when connecting, I need to configure the username for every host separately. Can’t I set a default somewhere?

I don’t see another option than volunteer-run instances or professionally run instances. And for professionally run instances you need funds (so paid subscriptions) and for volunteer-run instances you need volunteers…

In my experience, as long as there are enough active users, you’ll find enough volunteers.

I stopped self-hosting stuff that’s for the family. In case something happens to me, no way my wife is going to keep this stuff running. And the kids are too young. So they would lose everything.

Family stuff goes in managed solutions (like Proton). Personal and public stuff is selfhosted.

Just something to consider.

We have done before, but don’t do that often, so we don’t bother users too much. But we might do again soon, and maybe do a monthly post on the mastodons/sharkeys etc

Sending e-mail to info at lemmy dot world would be the best option. The team will pick that up.

(By the way: 2 EUR per year would be enough if every active user would donate that but they don’t)

For lemmy.world / mastodon.world including some of the smaller instances we host, it’s like 0,06 euro per active user per month. If every active user would pay 2 Euro per year that would be enough to cover hosting costs. If every active user would pay 1 euro per month, I could quit my dayjob and focus on the Fediverse fulltime.

(Sidenote: Stux and I created the non-profit Fedihosting Foundation which owns lemmy.world … but finances are still separate for his and my instances)

The server is in Finland, actually. I am in The Netherlands, so is the non-profit foundation owning LW.

I have setup bskysocial.world to test that (there’s no web interface, just select this domain when logging in or signing up via the app or https://bsky.app/)

Note: This is for testing only, I can’t promise it will remain running.

(I am @ruud.bskysocial.world)

(I’ll add links / descriptions later)

hi! lemmyworld admin here.

If I did it right, wefwef.app should no longer be rate-limited. Please let me know if it worked.

Nice list. I prefer calckey over misskey. (I run calckey.world)

I guess so.

Added a banner as test, but need an official banner for Lemmy.world. (@[email protected] ? :-) )

E-mail is working now

You can create an account, if you like.
