Re: [PLUG] replacing a Google group question
For moving a group off of google, you may be able to create a new mailing list with a different service (or host your own) and forward existing content to it. Or depending on your use case, look into the Google Apps platform for organizations and companies. The latter option gives you a private google cloud. For example, Free Geek gives google accounts to all their employees but under the domain emplo...@freegeek.com. This allows them to use the google groups internally under a domain they control, and restrict what is and is not available to the larger google userbase. I'm not sure what your requirements are, but if you like the functionality of google groups you might have to build something similar yourself or switch to a private mailing list or PHPBB style forum. -Ben On Tue, Apr 17, 2018 at 7:11 AM, Ron Braithwaite wrote: > Take a look at https://mastodon.social - It's FOSS and has some very > interesting features. > > -RonB > > On Mon, Apr 16, 2018 at 10:16 PM, logical american < > website.read...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Does anyone know of linux software which has the same functionality as > > Google groups? > > > > Is it possible to host the users on a server?

Take a look at https://mastodon.social - It's FOSS and has some very interesting features. -RonB On Mon, Apr 16, 2018 at 10:16 PM, logical american < website.read...@gmail.com> wrote: > Does anyone know of linux software which has the same functionality as > Google groups? > > Is it possible to host the users on a server?

Re: [PLUG] replacing a Google group question
Google groups is a combination of web-hosted forum and email list. If you want one or the other of these functionalities, then the answers might be different. If you want the same combination, I'm not sure off-hand. What is it you are looking for? Mailman is a common system for doing mailing lists, but by no means the only one. Clarification of your question is needed.

Interesting discussion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/comments/7xnymz/run_your_own_server/ You could set up a web BBS or forum, with a web server (your own or a web hosting provider such as nearlyfreespeech.net), running a PHP based or similar on the web server.
