Our family has a bunch of people whose birthdays we need to keep track of. Those birthdays matter to everyone, so we would like to have one shared birthday calendar. The calendar should come with an android app that at least sends reminder notifications about birthdays.
What selfhosted solution are you using for this? What can you recommend?

Don’t host the calendar, just host some WebDAV/CalDAV. That format is supported by basically all apps on every platform (usually including the default app on most phones), so everyone can pick what they want (or just stick with what they already use).
My personal pick for that purpose is Radicale.
Another alternative is Baïkal.
There are a multitude of calendar apps, tho I know of none specifically for birthdays exclusively.
- Nextcloud AIO combined with Nextcloud Android app
- Radicale combined with DAVx⁵ Android app.
- Baikal combined with DAVx⁵ Android app
Those are the ones I know of that have an Android capable app. There may be others. Maybe others here will chime in with some options.
Easier to just host an .ics file with all the events in some website and let everyone use whatever calendar app they like.
