@retrocrash@twtxt.net So… About these other self-host(er) communities you speak of… Where do we find them, who do we talk to? 🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net @ocdtrekkie@twtxt.net has a point about the self-hosted platforms. there’s tons of them. and deploy your own systems like homelabos, yunh, etc. get your apps in there as a start just like you did with yarn on vultr marketplace. but that wasn’t my point
my point was to mingle with the self-hosting crowds on other platforms like twitter, reddit, etc. this will require effort and consistency to steer them to whatever platform(s) you decide to cook up.
then you’ll likely start seeing more people trickle in to see what’s up. that’s your gateway to your iaas/paas idea. and maybe could help make the world a better place.
as for me, i’ve given up on trying to make the world better. i’m just working on my own world.
going to have to swallow a frog for a while. no one suggested you use the platforms like every other person begging for attention and hyper stimulation.
use them to boost your signal. most oss/foss projects use at least twitter for announcements.
how can anyone discover whatever it is you’re building this week without you talking about it on popular platforms?
this is why many brilliant projects and ideas die. nobody knows about them.
without some sort of effort to spread the word by the time people find it, it’s no longer relevant.
