Commenting directly from here so you can see

Sopuli is currently 5 days behind LW: …lem.rocks/…/federation-health-time-behind?orgId=…

Another reason to not centralize everything there

Nice people are still around, but in smaller communities

Yes sorry, I usually post a piped video but it’s hard to know which instance will work for everyone

Sure! Sorry, only saw your comment now

Probably, something to bring up to the owners of the page I guess

Yes I was surprised by the negativity too

You are basically asking people to work for free for you

No, the point I’m making is that it’s easier to have a 3k instance requiring 80€ donations from its member, who would feel closer to the rest of the members and their administration team, than a 21k instance requiring 560€ per month.

To be honest, I also think that we should move away from the donations model to an open subscription model. 80€ per month for 3k users is 0,32€ per user, you can implement a system where users pay 0,5€ for their cost, and can even pay more and offer to cover the subscriptions costs for other users. That way you give a real sense of community among members, and allow the instance admins to have more financial stability.

That’s another point. I guess over time some instances would aggregate in clusters. There is probably low interest for a niche software development English speaking instance to federate with a local Japan speaking city instance

Very good point

That’s what I did, but some users are really afraid of having to change instances

It is a great app, but more options are always welcome

Let’s hope he’ll manage. I really like that instance

I really like that downvotes are public
