  • For me it’s 100% Nextcloud. It was a pain to get working at first (and I’m dreading the day it breaks, if that happens). But it is so much more than just a self-hosted Dropbox solution:

    • Maps
    • Calendar
    • Email
    • Markdown editor (I’m using this to try and replace Google Drive for collaborative document editing with my friends; most of what we need can be achieved with Markdown formatting)
    • I haven’t tried it but there is a Talk plugin that allows for video conferencing in browser;
    • a bunch of other stuff I’ve never played with like mind maps, PDF conversion, music player, etc.





  • I guess I’m not seeing any benefit to your plan over just having each of those communities you described run their own Lemmy instance. There is already LemmyNSFW.com for example. And then if they want a local community for music etc. they can have it, or subscribe to (a theoretical) LemmyMusic.com. Then users can have their home base but still subscribe to other remote communities.

    If discovery is the concern, that can be solved more easily than building out a entirely new infrastructure like you are proposing.
