"What is your favorite self-hosted application?" had what looks to be about 15 matrix responses.
Would potentially be interesting to see Matrix/XMPP/etc prevalence in future surveys, maybe replacing 'what activitypub apps' with a more generic 'what federated apps do you self-host'
oh it did? i missed that scrolling through the results somehow, thanks!
Shout out to my fellow "None Backup Strategies" chaos goblins.
"What is your gender?"
82 females, 3300 males...
Ah guys, where are the females?
I'm a woman who does some self hosting. Hi.
Btw also an awesome way of telling people you're pregnant.
Lol. For kids I won't self host, I'll pay for someone else to host

Must be our fault.
I think this is pretty troubling. Including myself in the sentiment that the self-hosting community needs to do better. Aside from funding individual projects, are there any organizations that help fund self-hosting projects?
I also think that it is up to the developers to make it sustainable
If they want funding they need to seek it. It has been shown that when a project has a one time donation popup they can raise a significant amount of money. They aso could sell products or services.
100% of my self-hosted projects are run exclusively by my recurrent donations.
Good thing nobody's asking about what I've donated to the software projects I'm using to self-host.
How so? 40%-ish is actually pretty good!
I'm also in the "no" bucket, but I've contributed bug reports and do intend to donate soonish now that I use more visible projects (used to just be minidlna, BTRFS, and openSUSE). I only added Jellyfin a few months ago, and I do intend to donate since I don't intend to report bugs or contribute code.

I’m in the no-bucket, but instead i spend time on issues, helping the community and sometimes code contributions to self hosted projects instead.
This is not taken into the account of the question, however, but should be considered as contributing.
(I also consider donating to be contributing.)

Damn, and I thought the gender ratio on Lemmy was bad.
Eh, the women I know in tech aren't particularly interested in self-hosting. Not sure why, but women seem to have a stronger separation between work and hobbies, whereas the men I work with often do personal projects at home related to their work. I think the women I work with would be more than capable, they just seem uninterested.
Yeah, this is me. I refuse to get into work related hobbies, I just don't want to get burned out
I think we are still in an age where few women were encouraged to do technical things growing up, and found those subjects later in school, university or work. I suspect that will change over the next ten years.
That's also a huge part of it. Statistically, the women you see in technical positions probably picked it in college instead of being a hobby as a kid, so they see it more as a career than a hobby. Hopefully that's the case, because I'd love to see more women get into it.
The industry needs some diversity. Before it was all white men and now you can break down 80% of the industry into a few groups.
Agreed. It has gotten a lot better since I've been in the industry, but it still has a long way to go.
I also see some serious discrimination against women who don't fall into the narrow stereotype. They better wear makeup and be all proper or else they are rejected. It is especially bad if you are on the spectrum. When people see an weird guy they think nerd and it is normal. However that is very much not the case for women. It is taboo for a woman not to be good with people.

How does one self-host Obsidian? Does that just mean file sync? What am I missing?
I just set this up yesterday, coincidentally. I have it behind a reverse proxy + subdomain so I and my wife can share notes easily wherever we are. Mainly shopping lists, projects, and other things.

The plug in "self hosted livesync" most likely. You need a couchdb server for it.
