That list isn’t completely accurate. My project, for instance, is not on the PHP list despite it being written in PHP because the platform is Docker. The selfh.st filter as described by eshol might be the better way to go.

But if we want self-hosted software to become a real alternative to commercial services, we need people, especially developers, to care enough to build and maintain it.

Is it a real alternative. And not just that, in many cases it’s better. There are many good projects out there which developers care enough about to maintain that make no money at all, simply because those developers enjoy doing that, or if they see the benefit to building such software.

Sometimes they provide solutions like paid hosting while keeping the self hosted version free.

This looks really nice, fast and well considered. I’d love to understand more about these lighthouse nodes.

Translating documentation

And translations for the application itself in some cases, so that it can be ran and used in different languages. Human contributions to the language files of the application is what my project needs more than anything else, and if you do speak a non-English language fluently, I’d be very grateful! Here’s how I’ve worded it for my project:

If you would like your language to be supported, please create a new pull request, or a new issue with your language file, using an existing language file as a template.

That’s awesome! I would never have expected that kind of throughput. On the day of your popular post, did you feel the traffic while trying to use the internet yourself at all? I sometimes fear that I’m going to get hit by something that interrupts what I’m doing and I’ll have to take the server down temporarily. It hasn’t happened yet though. I use a cloudflare tunnel mostly because I don’t have a static IP address, but it does help reassure me in the event of a DDOS and blocking bot traffic. Those services are free by the way (for the time being at least! Who knows about the future)
