Short term thinking: apps cost us a lot of money per year, let’s claw some of that cost back.

Long term thinking: hiring enough people to moderate all of the popular subs that will now have no moderators will cost us tens of millions of dollars over future years just in salaries, not to mention more IT ops, HR and the other stuff that comes with growing a headcount.

It’s going to be really sad to see Reddit collapse under its own stupidity :(

Fantastic news! Signed up, happy to pay again, can’t wait!

Been on Mastodon for a while since the Twitter crap. Signed up to a Lemmy instance just now and so far so good!

One question for the more seasoned folk: from my Mastodon client, I can see some Lemmy communities if I search @<community>@<server>, but I can’t see any posts. It just shows empty, but the count of posts says there are posts. Is this some sort of lag, or a setting of the Mastodon server I’m on?

Also are these communities associated with an instance, or do they exist across all instances? I’m assuming the former? And what does that mean if there are multiple communities with the same name on different servers?
