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.

Link to repo: github.com/dittofeed/dittofeed

If you need any help with deploying an instance, reach out on Discord! discord.gg/HajPkCG4Mm

What’s the difference?

chandler@lemmy.world on 30 Oct 21:40 collapse

Hi apologies, could you clarify for me? Difference with reference to what?

just_another_person@lemmy.world on 30 Oct 21:42 collapse

Why is this better than any other service mentioned.

chandler@lemmy.world on 30 Oct 21:47 collapse

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?

chandler@lemmy.world on 30 Oct 21:58 next collapse

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.

I think this is an integration platform so you can automate a newsletter.

Is there a Github link?

chandler@lemmy.world on 30 Oct 21:37 collapse

Hi sorry, I didn’t realize the previous image link replaced the github link. Just edited the post to fix that, but here it is as well: github.com/dittofeed/dittofeed

Thanks for brining to my attention!

Cool, thanks!

Really disliking that discord is used as helpdesk/forum. Not really searchable via the web.

Also no link to the repo.

chandler@lemmy.world on 30 Oct 21:50 next collapse

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: github.com/dittofeed/dittofeed

chandler@lemmy.world on 30 Oct 22:06 collapse

It was my mistake. The post should be updated now, but please let me know if you’re still not seeing the link.

You’ll hate to hear this and it’ll age you 50 years but… The new generation doesnt use Google unless everything else fails. They will search discord, tiktok, and ChatGPT directly first before they ever touch google 🫠

acockworkorange@mander.xyz on 31 Oct 13:36 collapse

Because Google sucks ass. Other search engines are better only because Google got so bad. And I speak from someone who stayed on the internet just after BBSs became ISPs with blazing fast 14400 baud modems.

I’ve always felt discord was way too ephemeral and caused a lot of question to be re-asked over and over.

acockworkorange@mander.xyz on 31 Oct 13:41 next collapse

Do you have federated channels? Like matrix, lemmy, mastodon, etc.?

chandler@lemmy.world on 31 Oct 17:26 collapse

Currently, the way you’d integrate with federated channels is via our webhook channel, but we do plan on building first-class integrations for matrix and lemmy in q1 of next year.
