Thats what makes the wiki format so great. When I have no clue what a word means, it's probably blue and I can just follow the link to find out. The problem arises when I'm 20 links in and realize "yeah maybe there's a reason people have phd's in this topic".

Hmmm interesting points. Those numbers do look pretty steep for a server with only 20 users, but I can see how there's more too it than just the costs of a server. Im sure its also harder if you have a server that ends up hosting big communities but has few users.
Ah yeah, I guess I could have checked the rest of your profile name lol. That's very cool! It's really making me think more about which instance I wanna stick with as a primary.
Definitely true at the moment as I'm trying to understand how this all works and where I want to be within it! I'll have to see if I go back to my lurking ways after the curiosity has died down, but so far I kinda like being able to pick communities not just for what they have, but also what the vibes are. I always hated negative stuff in r/gaming and other game subreddits, but I loved r/lowsodiumcyberpunk. I think beehaws gaming community seems so cool because of their emphasis on be(e)ing nice.
I wonder how much that comes out to per user. Im sure its not negligable, but I have a hard time believing a few hundred text posts and images actually take $8/mo (lookin at twitter) to store on a server.
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. I was under the impression that kbin was just another lemmy instance or maybe a group of them. Are Lemmy and Kbin actually separate things?
That's beehaw right <.< Quick curiosity, does that extend to other instances for you? Or can you still downvote as long as it's not on a community within your own instance? I didn't make my own account there, but I read the explanation for no downvoting and I felt like it made a lot of sense.
Man I remember watching this happen in realtime to r/AbruptChaos. There were two simple rules 1.the video must start out calm 2. there must be an abrupt moment where multiple things start happening at once. It slowly went from every post being great, to more than 90% of them being chaos the entire video or only having one bizarre event. Idk if it was moderation getting loose or karma-farming or both but hopefully its a while before that starts happening here.
I'm not 100% certain as I'm pretty new here, but my account is with lemmy.ca and it seems like I can see and ineract with both beehaw and lemmy.world. If you're interested in the beehaw communites but still want access to the defederated communities, just going with a smaller instance for your account seems to work fine.
I've got a lot of faith in good Steamdeck communities making it here because of it's whole linuxy right-to-repairy nature. I wonder even if well see communities like that surpass reddits' sooner than others.
I like that perspective! But at the same time, if the user's are both the producers and the consumers, where does that leave the platform hosters. We gotta pay our tax at somepoint if we wish to have the space to produce and consume.
I've always been a wikipedia donator, but with the fediverse its a little bit harder. I don't ascribe to one community/instance more than any others, but I don't want to have to figure out how to spread my donation accross all the instances that I interact with. If everyone just donates to where their home account is, does that balance itself out?
Bro its so easy, simply have 5 years of linux experience. Legit tho I've been trying linux out for a long time and the only computer I really try to repair instead of reinstalling is my server, cuz I don't remotely remember how I set that thing up in the first place.
