Gorgeous view. On a side note: Having just finished the game Jedi Survivor, those are a lot of meditation points over there

Wait is this the real shittymorph?

Here you go

I always looked at this form of app monetization as “You are tech savvy enough to know the risks of trusting a 3rd party app store therefore we will not charge you” type of tax haha

NoClip at it again. Valiant effort by then in preserving video game history. They need to get as much support as they can for the work they do

You gotta wonder who’s been hosting, paying for said hosting, and maintaining (they moved to HTML5 a few years back) it all of these years. It is one of the longest running pieces of internet history and I love it

Well those instances are general ones. I am specifically talking about an instance dedicated to self hosting with communities dedicated to topics around self hosting

Actually an instance dedicated to self hosted stuff would be great. We could have communities specifically for things like home lab, media hosting (Plex, Jellyfin, Emby), unRAID, TrueNAS, shit posting, hardware discussions, general conversations, etc.

This would reduce the strain on lemmy.world and give us all a dedicated home for more niche topics without posts getting buried

Hey Vsauce, Michael here. What does it mean to be touched by something? In 1890, a poet named Rene Bomier said that to touch is to feel the world around you. But what if the world touched you back?

Cue transition music

I agree. But one disadvantage of really tiny instances is the lack of confidence I have that the admins stay on top of keeping those instances up to date with the latest version of Lemmy. The older the version, the more the likelihood of bugs, performance issues, and potential security vulnerabilities.

Hopefully the Lemmy devs get motivated by this new influx of users that they start to incorporate features that extend the vision of decentralization where user accounts could be migrated to another instance without losing anything. That would mean whenever an instance gets hit with too much load, just switch it out with one that has less load on it and you are good to go ahead with your day.

I am one of those people who migrated as I grew up with an internet that was full of small communities and interesting content uncontrolled by greedy corporations. When I found Reddit back in 2012, I thought it was amazing and going to be a bastion of information for a modern internet. Well, now we know that wasn’t the case thanks to chasing the almighty dollar. Hopefully this is the point in time where we can steer this ship around and bring the control back to the users.

I switched to lemm.ee just to be able to load anything haha. Liking the instance so far. Smaller user base so less load and the admin seems competent enough to keep it going strong based on their interaction with the community
