    I think the moment a decent app becomes available, or Spez does something else fucking stupid, active users are gonna skyrocket again.

      Our role now is to continue making this a viable alternative. We must walk so they can run (away from Reddit)

        Voyager is almost identical to Apollo. A joy to use.

      what would spez have to do? he just made a bunch of the users lose money by removing/expiring coins.

      💯 Lemmy is self-sustaining now, and the programmers/server admins are getting experience with scaling. IMO Lemmy is now open for business to steal users every time Reddit does something shitty. I’d say spez should be worried, but he probably doesn’t actually care past the pump&dump IPO and if Reddit becomes a ghost town after that he’ll have already rode off into the sunset.

    As a cheapskate selfhoster who can only afford a few gigabytes of storage, It may come to a point where 30GB would not be enough to host the entire post history of the lemmy fediverse once user activity rises, and only those with deep pockets would be able to host archives of lemmy posts, just like usenet servers.

      I have not used it in almost a week and was thinking about giving up and down loaded jerboa.

        Control over your own instance, and the ability to choose which instance you federate with.

      If this is like Mastodon, then I think the server will flush items cached from other instances when they reach 6 months old

      Meh, storage is cheap, you can get TBs of storage for less than $100. If things really pick up and you’re a smaller Lemmy instance, I bet there’ll be some good ways to filter exactly what you store on the server.

        Well, I am hosting this instance on a VPS, also given that I currently reside in a third world country, my pay is shit that I cannot afford more storage. If there comes a time that I would have to delete some posts and comments to free space, given that I still have not explored the Postgres database container, I hope the devs included some foreign keys on the comments table that would make deleting stuff way easier.

    I haven’t been on Lemmy in a few days because I can’t even login on their website. Broke down and downloaded an app through play store so I could login to comment. I was waiting for Boost for Lemmy, but I guess fate had other plans.

          Might be fun if everyone got like 1 gold every couple weeks to give out. That way they’d still sorta be meaningful

            Or for example, you get a special award for 100 comments to give away.

              Concur. I would tie “awards awardable” to participation. 1 award per 10 posts or 100 comments. Given the federated nature of Lemmy it would probably have to be tabulated per instance, but that’s okay since that would tie awards awardable to the communities in which one most often participates.

          my engineer brain immediately went to how crazy the desync would be lmao (upvotes, comments, and subscriber count already out of sync sometimes)

    That is probably my fault, I’m cursed and the moment I ever join any organization or community, something invariably always happens.
