  • Interesting!

    There was another one posted 6 days ago for a similar community: [email protected] (source post: https://lemmy.ca/post/24032974)

    Maybe you could reach out to the mod of that community to see if you could work together?

  • I don't even know why I both with Reddit anymore

    Why 80% of New Zealand is Empty [23:10] RealLifeLore
  • Sure! Sorry, only saw your comment now

  • What is the maximum number of active users on an instance before the financial burden gets too high for the admins?
  • That's another point. I guess over time some instances would aggregate in clusters. There is probably low interest for a niche software development English speaking instance to federate with a local Japan speaking city instance

  • What is the maximum number of active users on an instance before the financial burden gets too high for the admins?
  • You are basically asking people to work for free for you

    No, the point I'm making is that it's easier to have a 3k instance requiring 80€ donations from its member, who would feel closer to the rest of the members and their administration team, than a 21k instance requiring 560€ per month.

    To be honest, I also think that we should move away from the donations model to an open subscription model. 80€ per month for 3k users is 0,32€ per user, you can implement a system where users pay 0,5€ for their cost, and can even pay more and offer to cover the subscriptions costs for other users. That way you give a real sense of community among members, and allow the instance admins to have more financial stability.

  • Yes sorry, I usually post a piped video but it's hard to know which instance will work for everyone

  • What is a good way for a new Lemmy user to browse and join communities?
  • Probably, something to bring up to the owners of the page I guess

  • Lemmy World outages
  • This issue can be solved using this tool: https://github.com/Fmstrat/lcs

  • Lemmy World outages
  • You definitely did!

  • What are your criteria for choosing an instance other than Lemmy.world?
  • Let's hope he'll manage. I really like that instance

  • What is the maximum number of active users on an instance before the financial burden gets too high for the admins?

    Pretty straight question.

    I see Lemm.ee is now the second most populated instance based on https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list, with 3634 monthly active users.

    I also know that Lemmy devs said that > lemmy.ml is bigger than beehaw, and only costs 80 euros per month for a dedicated server.

    https://lemmy.ml/comment/2372503

    As lemmy.ml has 3561 monthly active users, should we consider that around 3,5k-4k users is the sweet spot for an instance population, and stop recommending the ones that reached that threshold?
