Is there any FOSS Text Editor with online collaboration features?
Like Google Docs, also with permissions for Owner, Editor and Viewer, and can be linked. I know making websites exist but I'm not sure if I could access buying any relevant hardware in my city and idk how to self-host.

CryptPad is a lot like Google Docs.
But if you just want collaborative text editing, then EtherPad has been around since forever. There's also a hosted instance available at https://framapad.org/ .
Cryptpad is really good for ad hoc collaborative text editing, with a couple bonuses:
Glad to see others recommending CryptPad https://cryptpad.org/instances/
The end-to-end encryption is so nice
I use Cryptpad as wel. Its been around quite a while and they have been expanding with an lot of new apps like kanban, drawings, code editors and presentations. All Foss and e2e encrypted.
+1 for framasoft
I'm late but thank you for the suggestions
There's Nextcloud Office (Collabora) or OnlyOffice.
Only office is the goat
There are many solutions, but all that I know of require a server. Check out Cryptpad or Nextcloud. You can find instances hosted by others who will give you a free account.
I see, thx

Never tried this - wouldn't all users control a single cursor in this case?
Yes.
