It's so great to see. Just proves what everyone was saying all along. Communities are built by the people that participate in them, and not the tools. Get rid of those tools and we'll find other ones.

I think the main problem with these companies and the startup/tech bro culture (mostly in the US) is that they are growing for the sake of just growth itself, because they want to get their own. The original idea is to grow as big as they can, IPO, then sell it off. They weren't designing things to be profitable from the start. So eventually they all reach a stage where they are hemorrhaging money too much, and that is where all the enshittification happens (investors come in, they try to make it a real business now, but it wasn't really feasible to be a business to begin with).

It's early stages but the conversations here feel more "high effort". I think it might also be because of signup approvals which weeds out bots/low effort posters. I do feel the growth pains with the timeouts happening more often but overall content-wise it is quite nice.

Mejo concerning nga yung political leaning ng mga founders 😬 Pero so far naman maraming instance options to balance it out. Problema lang mukha atang hindi siya designed for scale, kailangan talaga maraming instances

Pero so far sobrang mas OK ito sa Mastodon. Para siyang Hacker News quality pero mas maraming general interests

I'm thinking about setting up an instance but am worried about costs - can anyone share any information on how much it has cost them so far? Especially the bigger instances, since usage might spike after the Reddit changes kick in, and I'm worried about suddenly getting a huge bill

Salamat sa pag-setup nito! Surprisingly easy to use ang lemmy at parang mas high-quality yung conversations so far. Sana dumami pa ang mag-signup!
