Every time I look at reddit or twitter they’re designed to be filled with the most vile or annoying posts imaginable to keep you scrolling and this place just… doesn’t have that. It’s relieving to not be inherently angry just scrolling through new posts
@scrubbles Do you run your own instance?
Yep, I saw how busy lemmy.ml and the others were getting, and reading the posts I saw how important it is to spread out the users. So I figured I might as well, I run a few other services anyway.
If you like music I’m trying to kick start the server and welcome communities!
I hope in the future they allow individuals to host distributed infra for existing instances. I’d like to help providing hardware to expand the bandwidth of the system but not really ready for mod duties.
I figure I’ll cross that bridge when I get there. I host my own instance for a couple small communities, but we’ll see how it grows. If I need help with modding I’d do what Reddit does and ask the community if there are any volunteers
