    Unfortunately with the current structure of things, that’s probably what will have to happen for a bit.

    Lemmy is decentralized and federated and there are pros and cons to that system. One of those is that users expect a completely free experience. However, I have a server at home, but I have no way of scaling it. So despite there being a community I’d love to spin up, I can’t because I have no way of scaling it.

    Most people are going to have to go through Cloud providers for that, which can get pricey.

      Just like people share the cost for a Netflix account they could probably share the cost of their fediverse access. IF people really wanted that is.
