That would be true if Threads would support communities. Which they don't. If they ever would (which I don't think) then this would be a valid point and need consideration.

The Lemmy server is about 180 EUR/mo and the e-mail cost was around 70 EUR for Lemmy, because of the many new signups which require a few mails per user.

Media storage is mainly for Mastodon, which has around 10TB of media.

You just did :-)

But I don't think you can (yet) do any other interaction from here. You can follow the blog from Mastodon.

No

I have no financial involvement with meta.

That would be a lot of work and extra bookkeeping.. The costs like Hetzner and Wasabi and Mailgun are all in 1 account, same invoice. But we might make the branding on the Patreon/OpenCollective pages a bit more clear.

Yes well you'll always have that. Luckily that's greatly outnumbered by the positive feedback /comments.

Have been looking into this, haven't yet found an easy way to accept donations via crypto. It needs to be transparent so people can see what's donated, without having to dig through the blockchain :-) When I find an option I'll add it.

Yes we keep the finances in the blog every month so trends can also be seen.

Thank you. Nothing is decided yet, but because of moderation limitations on Lemmy and the fact people can't block domains for their account, I would say chances are we would defederate as soon as they do federate with Lemmy. For Mastodon these 2 arguments aren't valid so decision might be different.

Hi, thanks! Yes I've read that, and I don't see how that could happen to Lemmy or Mastodon. I've see comments that people will follow their friends on Threads and then when Threads disconnects, people will leave Fediverse and join Threads. My question is why would they be on Fediverse and not on Twitter/Facebook, where their friends are now.

I mean I see what happened to XMPP but I don't see that happening to Lemmy. It's not the same. But feel free to chat with me about this, maybe I'm wrong and someone can convince me. My Matrix account is in my profile or just use DM.

Well there's about 5 to 10 people constantly working on these servers, so if they weren't volunteers, it would be a lot more... But yeah overall it's quite efficient so far.

I think from the lemmy repo, but is has been updated since.

Yeah there were a bit too many people wanting to view that at once :-) I restarted Writefreely.

The only way they could have gotten your e-mail is by 'stealing' your cookie and using it to view your settings. But I think this was 1 person, and they were busy abusing the admins account they 'hijacked' so I doubt they abused any non-admin accounts. (But of course it's possible).

I think the language for that community is set to English. So if you don't select a language for the comment, it won't post..

if pictrs doesn't have access to the external network, the post won't show a thumbnail when you post a link.

Lemmy doesn't have an option for that but we're looking into it
