Arriving
Postmill
What actually changes
Software alternatives are worth considering when the incumbent gets expensive, restrictive, or invasive.
Postmill is a libre self-hosted link aggregator. It lets you create a community free from corporate control.
Why consider the swap
If you currently rely on Reddit and want more control over data, lower long-term costs, or a privacy-friendly licensing model, Postmill covers most of the same ground.
What you trade off
Most privacy-friendly alternatives require more setup than their commercial counterparts and may lag on polish, mobile apps, or ecosystem integrations. Check the project’s documentation for current feature parity with Reddit before committing.
