Which shared calendar do you use?
I'm currently using a Nextcloud instance hosted by a volunteer run non profit. 12€ per account per year, I have one for me and my girlfriend.
However, calendar sharing is limited to people on the users on that Nextcloud instance, which is a bit limiting.
Do you have alternatives that allow federated calendar sharing?
https://calendar.online/ seems promising and is German, has anyone used them before?

Do you have some specific features that are “must have” for you? I’m using the calendar from Proton (considering that I’m using their services as a bundle for mail+drive, I thought “why not”). So far I haven’t found any issues with that, but I’m not a “calendar heavy” user.
My only minor gripe is, that their ipadOS application is just a port from the iOS, not a full-fledged tablet version.
My main use case is to share with calendar availability with some close friends (easier to make plans when we can at least roughly see when everyone is available). In Nextcloud it's only possible with other users of your Nextcloud server, there is no federation.
The Github issue is still open: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/1440
In the mentioned Proton calendar, you can share your calendars, but NOT when using the free plan.
So I would say - if you’re already using Proton “suite”, you can give it a go. But if you don’t then I don’t think it makes sense to pay just for their calendar feature. It’s pretty basic (which is sufficient for me, but not for everyone)
I see, thanks!
Download and create a calendar on: https://anytype.io/
And then you can share it for collaboration. Theres a bit of a learning curve but you can use it for alot more rhan calender and it works very well
Interesting, I see they are based in Switzerland https://anytype.io/faq
The free tier looks nice https://doc.anytype.io/anytype-docs/memberships/monetization
Tuta Calendar from Tutanota.
I use calendar.online and it worked very good for my purposes, nice intuitive UI
I think I'm really going to give it a try, it looks promising!
I use a 1 Euro Ionos Server with Baikal. It's got enough recourses for hosting a RSS solution as well.
For those who prefer apps, there's OurCal, developed by an English company. I've just started using it.
Ourcal
The application looks quite ergonomic.
Thank you!
Is it compatible with open calendar formats? The webpage shows Google, Outlook and Apple, obviously we are trying to avoid those at the moment 😄
Also, you might want to check your language settings, your comment was taggued as French, some people might not see it. [email protected] can help, I think there is also something at [email protected]
Thank you !
Yes, you can link the classic American calendars, but you can also use the calendar provided by the app, which is not linked to these services.
As for the language problem, I'll look into it, but maybe it has something to do with the fact that I'm French in a French Instance ? I'm new to Lemmy.
Ah, good to know, maybe I'll give it a try!
I found the post, it should be more clear, feel free to comment there too: https://jlai.lu/post/16302866

I'm trying with "Auto" language setting, I hope it's better.
Still French, but it's fine for now. If one day you encounter a community without any posts while there should be some, remember to try to update them again
Thank you, it's important if I want to contribute to the BuyFromEU community. I'm going to investigate further !
Ah, now it seems good, your comment was not tagged !
I use Fossify calendar. It works really well until now!
Can you share it?
I am subscribed to my gf's google calendar, but unfortunately I cannot share mine with her.
I use https://mailbox.org from Germany
Can you share your availability with other people?
I suppose so, but I haven't tried that feature myself, so I'm not completely sure.
Ok, thanks!
