hi all!

so, I guess all the instances and the development itself are in need of some money to be run.

do all the instances need to survive on their own?

I’m not sure how it works in the background, but instances with a small community would still need to be able to mirror all the threads from other instances - if its community requests it
did I get this wrong?

I’m currently supporting the development through Patreon, but I guess sometime in the future l, it would be wise to split this with server costs for the instances.

or do I miss something?

thanks!

    Well, I think the domain is more about bees than nees so that may be why :)

    But yeah, that particular community doesn’t pop up onto my instance when I search either for some reason - might be a glitch or their site is responding a little slow. I am subbed across to a bunch of their communities on top of lemmy.ml from my instance, so I can confirm this is how it works

      yeah, the typo was unlucky ;⁠-⁠)
      but I tried the search several times with double checks - do got it right at least some times… ;⁠-⁠)

      thanks for trying as well with the same result - and keeping me sane!
