  • you only need to maintain the community if you make one, similar to a moderator role in reddit (also called mods here though lol), there’s no cost there but you also don’t get paid, just like reddit mods. Only the server admins maintain the server, and if it gets bigger, all the costs are on the admins. That’s why they open donation channels, and you can support them through that.

    note : server admins, each server has their own admins. For example, you’re on lemmy.ml, that one has their own admin, but I’m replying from lemmy.world (magic of the fediverse) which has different guy as admin. You can just support the server you’re in.

    the downside is that if an admin (or several, maybe some servers are run by a group, I don’t know) can’t no longer support a server, any data including your account in that server is gone. Hopefully a ‘migration’ feature can be implemented in the future.



  • yes, I mean derivatives of those “softwares”–is that the right term? I mean, lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, lemmy.one for examples are servers / instances, but they’re in the same “family”, which is Lemmy. Same thing with kbin, there are kbin.social, karab.in, forum.fail are the instances of the same kbin “family”

    for now I see that link aggregator & discussion model (reddit-like) “software” is Lemmy and Kbin

    I wonder if there are other softwares beside those two. Though for now I think it’s… sufficient ? if the reddit post discredit lemmy, then do they provide the way to kbin instead? if not, does it matter if the admin or dev of main lemmy software and instance have differing views in life? would it affect the other lemmy servers as well?

    in other words, can the main lemmy devs affect the other instances / servers due to their problematic worldview ? or will it be contained to the servers that they maintain ? How much “independence” do each of these servers have ?
