Oh god I finally was able to log in, 2 days after I thought I failed to make an account because none of the emails went through.
I wish there was some sort of way that I could send CPU power or bandwidth, tor style, to these new decentralized platforms. I totally get that they're having growing pains, and I also get that part of the tradeoff of decentralization is "well, who pays the hosting bills then?"
I'd love to put a percentage of my bandwidth and home server (or even AWS instance) CPU resources towards running an encrypted Lemmy.world instance. I don't want to just run my own barren, empty server like what the Federated system would let me do; I don't feel like that would actually have any benefit to making a reddit-replacement since why would anyone use my instance? No, I specifically want to dedicate resources to helping the popular instances, be able to run.
Holy crap these upvote numbers are something new. Thanks spez ๐
To be fair you're on the most popular instance, the nice thing about federated stuff is you can join a smaller instance that's not overloaded, and still have access the same content.
I wish they did a better job of explaining that on the lemmy site haha
But wouldn't accessing content on the other instance be just as slow? How would making your own instance just for sign in be beneficial?
That depends, if you subscribe to a community on another instance, as I understand it the only thing you would be accessing remotely is image uploads, text posts and all the other UI stuff is coming directly from your instance.
Big if True. Cool if True! I think I need a, um /c/explainlikeimfive (this sublem probably hasn't been made yet, or maybe not... it's the goddamn wild west out here) of how all these federated stuff actually works and if what you're describing actually would lessen the load on lemmy's servers. I work with servers hardware shit but web server software is magical to me.
I wish they did, too. I thought it was different content for each instance.
Take the money that you would've spend on AWS and donate it to lemmy.world. That would be the best solution IMO.
