We have done before, but don’t do that often, so we don’t bother users too much. But we might do again soon, and maybe do a monthly post on the mastodons/sharkeys etc

Sending e-mail to info at lemmy dot world would be the best option. The team will pick that up.

(By the way: 2 EUR per year would be enough if every active user would donate that but they don’t)

For lemmy.world / mastodon.world including some of the smaller instances we host, it’s like 0,06 euro per active user per month. If every active user would pay 2 Euro per year that would be enough to cover hosting costs. If every active user would pay 1 euro per month, I could quit my dayjob and focus on the Fediverse fulltime.

(Sidenote: Stux and I created the non-profit Fedihosting Foundation which owns lemmy.world … but finances are still separate for his and my instances)

The server is in Finland, actually. I am in The Netherlands, so is the non-profit foundation owning LW.

I’ll try to install the BookFace UI on friendica.world. Also I’ve started a Friendica manual at https://help.friendica.onl but it needs to get content.

How so?

This is for the Lemmy.World server (just the physical box, not the related VMs). Around 12TB last month.

Thanks, I sent them an e-mail.

I have setup bskysocial.world to test that (there’s no web interface, just select this domain when logging in or signing up via the app or https://bsky.app)

Note: This is for testing only, I can’t promise it will remain running.

I do host some stuff myself 😉 but there’s one thing to keep in mind.

Don’t self host stuff that your family still needs after you’re gone. Unless they are self host nerds like you. I stopped self hosting our mail and docs for example.

Would you agree?

I did register writefreely.world planning to host that one day, but I need some more selfhosting nerds to help out running all these instances :-) The foundation is now already running a few dozen Fedi instances :-D

I run a pixelfed and misskey on the same server, and used to run a mastodon besides that. No issues. (I use docker)

Yes. At the NLNet stand.

I did get Lemmy stickers of course

I am there. But will leave soon

Ahh yes I meant as opposed to Twitter and Facebook. But I worded it badly 😁

For moderators surely Mastodon. For admins too… For users: that’s a taste-thing. I’m not a developer so can’t say…

Yeah somewhere between twitter and facebook clone, more like Mastodon. But open-source and federated, like Lemmy.

Depends on what sort of invoices. For my invoices for billable hours, I use Kimai

Too bad fire.fish is also gone…
