In the last week I have seen solar punk go down and aussie.zone owner talk about stepping away.
I’ve not seen two places down at once that has made it to my feed in the last 3 years.
Is the self hosting aspect of lemmy a detriment to the entire environment? Admins getting burnt out or the costs becoming too high is absolutely an issue.
I know this is kind of rambling but what would happen to Lemmy if the major hosters all went down, and we all spun up our own personal services?


I’m not gonna lie. I stumbled on lemme by mistake, looking for a way around Reddit IP ban.
I’ve enjoyed the hell out of y’all’s company and conversations. Truly. Not everyone here likes me, but for most part I don’t feel like any one here is a bigot of any kind.
But…dear fucking God I do not understand a goddamn thing about any of the shit y’all talk about when it comes to any of that.
same. I’m here for the memes, and the shitposts
That and big anime tatas.
btw, I’m a goth tiddy kinda guy myself.
I’m an any type of tiddy type of guy.
But…if I had to admit my weakness? Black women tiddies. Especially goth black women.
I’d fight for it. Tbh.
Just try to picture email. The different providers on different domains; different people have different addresses (after the @). Yet one can send to the other and back. That’s federation. The protocol behind Lemmy (ActivityPub) does something similar.
