Hello, today I would like to announce the creation of a mattermost group “Casual Selfhosters”.

I created it because I feel like there is a need for real time chat at times when it comes to helping someone with selfhosting and some aspects of communication generally work better in real time chat, than in a forum like setting like what lemmy does.

The server is hosted on a dedicated hetzner machine.

I would love for the mattermost group to grow alongside this lemmy community and be a good addition in helping other people get into selfhosting.

Hoping for good feedback to make the community even better and hope people will find it usefull if they are ever in need of real time chat to help someone across the globe.

    True, but matrix does have the advantage of federated login, while Mattermost is 1 login per server. So I just wanted to add the information. Sure it might be overkill for you, but I’d wager most of the users here on Lemmy already have a Matrix account, so it would be much easier for them.

    I did not mean to say that Matrix is better than Mattermost. They serve different needs.
