But mbin?

To me the first one is an instance problem (ml, hexbear?), and not a lemmy problem. It has looked like they’ve been trying to separate the two as much as possible.

It used to. I think it still technically exists in the database, but is unused. Good riddance, really.

Some people just are like that.

The thought was that it’d be closer to that, than the 12 times larger suggestion.

And yeah, I was definitely only taking hosting costs into account, because every instance is maintained by volunteers. I was also only thinking about large instances that benefit from economies scale and smarter management.

I took a quick glance at that thread, will have a more thorough pass later.

Well, I guess it’s priorities. Destroying Big Tech would be pretty nice, but I’m really just here for the community.

Per user? There are instances running on like $10/mo virtual servers with maybe the same amount spent on storage.

I actually kind of enjoy the “scrappy diy effort niche” thing.

I think a dollar or two per year would suffice if all users paid it.

Spambot

“The instance of the person who posted it” seems to be reasonable for comments, but not the thread.

I think it is not only reasonable, but better this way. The canonical server is the one the post originates from. Each server is responsible only for its own users and their content.

I don’t see any difference between posts and comments either. Why is one ok and the other not?

Oh, that’s cool.

If it can’t be found online, could start poking with a multimeter.

Since it is not planned to crawl federated instances community catalog

Isn’t that issue about crawling content?

Also, the devs have mentioned fetching community lists before, unless I remember wrong.

I got kind of excited about the mention of the “social” aspect, but it turned out a bit nonexistent. Funkwhale seems to be just a way to set up a file sharing site for music.

Ok, guess I finally have to check out what it’s exactly about, then.

Not a perfect solution by any means, but you can block communities you have no interest in.
