I would like to introduce a new self-hosted community

!selfhosted@libretechni.ca

As it says in the sidebar

Self-hosted is a community for people who believe in taking things into their own hands. The only thing that I ask of members of this community is to be nice to one another. Please note the emphasis on this version of the community is independence, learning and communication. If you’re unsure of where a link leads, either click it or ask.

So if you’re into that kinda thing, consider giving !selfhosted@libretechni.ca a subscription and then have a wonderful day. If not, have a wonderful day anyway.

    If you think that posting about any reasonably important project is important, then fine. But then again, I’d reason that the people that share your belief would already be to the relevant RSS feeds, no? Maybe the whole thing that you are trying to do could be replaced with a “PSA” style post, where you link a OPML list of RSS feeds from the projects that are worth tracking?

      Prior to the posts being deleted, their scores were overwhelmingly positive. It just so happens that some people weren’t appreciative and that’s fine. Not everything is for everyone.

      I know that before I set up my N8N, I had no way of tracking releases that weren’t intrusive and I know what when people posted releases, it gave me something to look into.

      There was even a time when because a release was posted, when someone encountered a problem, I was able to identify it and help them. To me that’s what a community is. Sharing and helping.

      Even now, I’m still excited enough to watch the terminal as I do docker-compose pull while I drink my tea and when things that my N8N missed pop up, I rush like an excited child to tell people that an update for something they may be running is out. And since the other self hosted communities don’t appreciate it, why wouldn’t I create one that does?

        Too much of a good thing can still be bad. I made the same mistake with the alien.top bots.

          Indeed, but I’m not a bot. I’m a human. But ultimately, that’s why I made a new community, so no one who doesn’t want to deal with it, doesn’t have to feel like their space was hijacked to facilitate it.
