Reddit migrator here (shocking, I know)

Just wondering because I found out about all this yesterday and just realized the ammount of independent servers, but no sign of any ads or sponsors. So… is it all based on donations?

Also don’t just lurk, if you know you should answer because lemmy only counts users who posted or commented as active users.

    personally I think governments need to get more invested in hosting various forms of social media. People need platforms where they can openly discuss community issues where their representatives are obligated to respond. And this place needs to be free and open for everyone (i.e. not twitter)

      I like this idea, though I’m not sure a Lemmy-like format is best-suited for it.

        yea you’d need a good verification system attached to it, which afaik Lemmy doesn’t really offer. That was one of the nice things about twitter (pre-elon) is that you knew the person was who they said they were (more-or-less)
