Every website I’ve ever set up has used letsencrypt, not sure where small business pages would be without it.

Kbin may allow migrating between Kbin instances, but would they support migration to Lemmy instances? If not then not sure we could expect Meta to support it either.
Pure speculation but I think a likely scenario is Meta would have all their accounts registered on a centralised server, and only have the content decentralised.
Very true, maybe we’ll see sites dedicated to these niche groups connect their own instances?
How dare you assume I’m having a good time.
While you’re definitely right I get OP’s hang up, more people means more content. I do wish more niche communities on Reddit made their way here.
I am btw
Definitely agree, there’s probably a line we need to cross where fedi becomes self sustaining, without being driven by Reddit’s drama.
Over 55 million active daily users on Reddit, a fourth would be cool but I’d be happy with a fifty-fifth too.
Simplified answer: They’re like email servers, and posts are like really advanced emails. You’ll see the same content on all 3 of these since all the content is automatically emailed between them (you don’t need an account on every instance like you don’t need multiple email accounts).
Where things get different is how the content is displayed to you.
Armoured core was great, unfortunately I was too busy picking flax on Runescape in 2006 so never found your forum.
Amen, if Reddit ever died it would probably survive living rent free in Lemmy users’ heads.
Dispelling the myth of a universal "Lemmy" community, and discussion of what the fediverse really is
- They can choose who to defederate, pretty sure beehaw has already done so with lemmy.ml and others.
- I think every instance is different but on some if you try to sub to a defederated community it’ll get stuck on ‘pending’, also you’ll probably see a lot of posts about it. It doesn’t seem to be something that’ll happen often.
Does it help if I tell you that’s Mozart and Cinderella.
I have a vision of what’s to come so I’ll throw it out here.
When things truly take off there’ll likely be companies selling cloud hosted instances, the server requirements aren’t massive for a small group so it’ll be cheap.
That’d solve the issue of losing accounts or small communities, but huge communities would have to be hosted on huge servers just to handle the amount of content coming in.
Which means money will play a role somehow, imagine a community with millions of visitors every day. Could a server relying on donations sustain that? Or better question is could they sustain that better than a huge tech conglomerate?
