Meh if you have $200k+ in sales last year then you have enough money to pay the most important vendor of your product

The community may be of interest to non-diehard fans but did you ever consider that you are of no interest to the community?

Wikipedia Foundation actually spends more money giving grants to other projects/orgs than they spend on hosting costs, and that’s still like 20% of their budget!! It’s so crazy

I’m going to buy it. All other VR headsets looked meh until this.

Can we afford to buy freedom.us?

When you put it that way, fediverse is probably better for official companies. I suppose that’s what bluesky was doing with their protocol too

and then when your main instance shuts down you can’t log into any again. So what’s the benefit asides from bypassing defederation? (And this wouldn’t even be a benefit, because instances defederate because they don’t like the users, so if you let people log in with oauth from a hated instance then you’d also get defederated

Oh I remember that!

MrBeast explained in a podcast that the subscription is so only other youtubers bother to see it, he doesn’t want to bore casual followes with the stats he posts.

Lemmy in the last few days is absolutely tiny compared to a site like reddit, and already instances are struggling to cope.

While this is true, 5 days ago lemmy.ml, the biggest instance, was on a 67 EUR server which is very small. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36270094

Posts like this: https://lemm.ee/post/58472 suggest it is a problem

This is a scaling problem (having more users means you need more mods) but I disagree with how they handled it and it isn’t a money related thing. My thoughts on this are in an older post when this was first announced https://partizle.com/comment/64178

Why should a handful of “lucky” servers have to pay all the hosting costs?

My initial idea is to use the something awful model of paying a one time fee to register an acount. The problem is that people would just sign up on another instance that doesn’t charge a fee but still add load to the lucky instance. Another approach could be to participate in communities on one of those lucky servers then you need to pay a one time fee to that server (comments would need to be removed by a bot if they’re not made by an approved user). I’m not saying that’s perfect, but it’s an idea. Adsense is another idea.

Here’s an idea: in apollo you swipe left on a comment to collapse the current commet’s thread, this would be nice too.

DJI is a chinese company and it is easier for them to just publish an apk rather than submit to all app stores

Maybe search results should link to archives rather than live urls

Mastodon users who want to stay on mastodon can subscribe to communities on lemmy and see each post as a tweet in mastodon

Kbin and lemmy are compatible but different projects

I don’t think it’s a problem. If you weren’t using activity pub and just something like reddit then if you were reddit (the sysadmin) you’d also deal with having to scale if your community gets really popular

Stuff that gets linked to also has the same problem

Oh it’s built with expo, nice!
