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:
-
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.

My custom blog, Syncthing and now I'm trying Lemmy and Mastodon. Let's see how it goes!
Do you need to be able to port forward / have a domain to host a lemmy instance? Is it the same for Kbin?
Yes, I think port forward and domain name is required not just for Lemmy but for every ActivityPub service (Kbin too).
For things to work properly, yeah. Other instances need to be able to connect to your instance to send updates/etc. You could use cloudflare tunnels or something like that instead of port forwarding though
