  • The migration of large communities from Reddit to Lemmy is like a world-renowned band performing an acoustic set in a library for 50 people.

  • If you're asking what the $6 gets, I'm talking about a single shard which allows me to host a Linux instance that runs a Lemmy instance. I wasn't sure if that was sufficient, but honestly, the performance via Jerboa is better than when I was using an account on lemmy.world. It has only been a week, so don't know how much disk will get used up over time. Long term I might need to bump things up for storage.

  • Fair enough. I'll look into automating it using some sort of storage from another provider.

  • This is a concern, but luckily this isn't required. I set up hobbit.world to host my Tolkien related communities. It only costs $6 a month plus the $35/yr for the domain name to host a tiny instance like this. I don't need to depend on anyone but my hosting provider.

    To be safe I should download backups once a month or so.

    But the point is that for big communities that people put a lot of time into, there should be an instance for each one owned by one of the mods.

    Edit: Meant to reply to the person concerned about the centralization of communities.

  • Honestly, most dev effort at big companies goes into ensuring nothing breaks or slows performance. When news articles are written about your mistakes, most developers and managers try not to break things.

    Making new stuff happens, but it just can't happen as fast as at small companies where 90% uptime is good enough.

    That said, it doesn't excuse launching products half baked. No reason an unlaunched product can't be iterated on quickly during dev.

  • Not storing my account or keeping me logged in?

  • I think it's a lemmy.world issue. Happens in Connect too.

  • What niche subject do you know a lot about?

    Jump

  • Lord of the Rings. Not as much as the insanely awesome folks who memorized the Silmarillion, but I know a lot about The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

  • [MEGATHREAD] What did you buy in the Steam Summer Sale?

    Jump

  • I bought about 30 games. Only ones I remember offhand are Lego Hobbit and Lego LOTR. There were many more though.
