    Lemmy appears to be financially stable due to user donations. Reddit relies on investors and monetizing users.

    I bet, if we keep donating like we need, and the code iterates and works… this place can be hopping. I’d like quality to not suffer, but there will be more options as population increases.

        I’d love to learn there’s a LemmyPi version…

        I’d still want to support the larger project, but the idea of having my own, stable, federated how I want… that would be cool.

        Not sure a RPi4 has what’s needed, however.

            A good RPi 4 could swing it as a local instance, based on that description. I’d want things locked down for security, and I’m sure the priority isn’t fragmentation. Even so, were it to happen, it would be cool.
