I am curious what % of user can the current lemmy instances take in from reddit

Can fediverse take on 30%, 50% or 100%?

For start, what are lemmy.ml and lemmy.world doing, are they just keep scaling up?

    That’s a lot of questions :-) Quick answers:

    • It’s being paid by donations (see homepage for links)
    • It’s owned by me and run by a team of sysadmins/mods
    • I might think of a non-profit for all my Fediverse servers one day. For now I’m using my BV (dutch company).
    • Still looking into the legal stuff, also for Mastodon. Working with https://about.iftas.org

      Sorry if you already know this, but this might be helpful for lurkers that don’t know such a thing exists.

      I don’t know anything about dutch corporate structures, but some US states have an entity called a benefit corporation. Think of it like a non-profit and corporation hybrid. It allows you to make a profit and grow, but operate like a non-profit where the purpose of the organization is something else. This gives you more flexibility that might not be available as a non-profit. I believe you can even incorporate as a non-citizen (I’m assuming here). Might I suggest an ask lemmy post to get ideas?

        Yeah I will, in due time. For now focussing on other stuff. But it’s on the roadmap.

      How do you feel about all this commotion? Do you think the “great migration” might actually happen?
