Hi self-hosters, we’re building a self-hostable, MIT-licensed alternative to Klaviyo, Braze, Mailchimp, etc. You can automate email, SMS, WhatsApp, and lots of other channels.
The core functionality of the platform includes a user segmentation builder, a low-code email template editor, and a low-code drag-and-drop journey builder for creating automated messaging workflows. We also have subscription groups to manage unsubscribes.
You can certainly use SMTP in place of an email provider like SES or Resend, but I don’t generally recommend it if you’re concerned about deliverability and metrics.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosted@lemmy.world
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.
Rules:
Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

Really disliking that discord is used as helpdesk/forum. Not really searchable via the web.
Also no link to the repo.
I agree. Bad for SEO as well. I’d say that Discord chose us more than we chose it. That’s where our initial users wanted to talk with us.
There’s a link above the body, but I just added one to the body as well. Thanks for the note!
really weird that they only included a discord link, but here is the repo: https://github.com/dittofeed/dittofeed
It was my mistake. The post should be updated now, but please let me know if you’re still not seeing the link.
I’ve always felt discord was way too ephemeral and caused a lot of question to be re-asked over and over.
What’s the difference?
Hi apologies, could you clarify for me? Difference with reference to what?
Why is this better than any other service mentioned.
Mainly that it’s self-hostable which makes it better for data security, lowers cost, and makes it extensible.
Aren’t you then hosting an SMTP source and relay?
