I was interested in building something like this.
Hey, I did the same thing recently! Set it up on my own server, and after a week, I'm starting to see new accounts being added to my explore feed. But there's no user count.
It's an annoying experience and I'm not fully sure how to resolve it yet, nor have I dung into it.
From $25,000 Bloomberg Terminals to SpaceX spaceship controls, web tech is powering systems you'd never expect. Many desktop apps are built with Electron. Why build with web tech — and why bundle parts of Chromium to do so?
As an open source project, our website never had to "convince people" to use Electron, so I never took the time to actually explain why I'm betting on web technologies to build user interfaces or why I prefer bundling a rendering engine.
Probably overkill and I agree with you.
K8 is for scale. Like managing a whole fleet of servers. Even with my devops team, it's quite a lift to suggest it to someone who is getting their feet wet.
I did a double take at that $4000 budget as well! Glad I wasn't the only one.
Yeah. I talk about the product directly.
Lemmy. Or Pixelfed. Or Mastodon.
I talk about the activitypub and decentralization.
I'm trying to remove Fediverse from the conversation because that's the word that starts to make people confused.
Well to be fair, American companies did that too. They expand their services internationally "for free" and then get other countries hooked on it.
China is just taking a page from that playbook.
