We use the official Discourse hosting, which is quite more pricy than hosting it ourselves, but it gives us some peace of mind and we can still migrate to a fully self-hosted version if needed.</p><p>Nowadays, I wish we had the same for the chat server. Hosted Mattermost or something similar would be pretty great. </p><p>Migrating the community to a different app/service is a huge pain, so we don&#39;t really have any plans for that atm.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://sarcasm.stream/@basil" class="u-url mention">@<span>basil</span></a></span> I used to use the local timeline, like, 90% of the time. These days I rarely go there as it&#39;s so busy.</p>

But yeah, self-hosting can be painful.</p>

It&#39;s basically open source Slack.</p>
