Lemmy appears to be financially stable due to user donations. Reddit relies on investors and monetizing users.

I bet, if we keep donating like we need, and the code iterates and works... this place can be hopping. I'd like quality to not suffer, but there will be more options as population increases.

Technology is just going to keep getting better, too. Running servers and storing lots of media will get cheaper and cheaper in the long run, even if there are ups and downs short-term. That means that more hobbyists will be able to run these types of services on a lower budget and less donations.

I'd love to learn there's a LemmyPi version...

I'd still want to support the larger project, but the idea of having my own, stable, federated how I want... that would be cool.

Not sure a RPi4 has what's needed, however.

Lemmy instances appear to need a lot of RAM. Sorry about the evil site link, it was the first result on Google.

A good RPi 4 could swing it as a local instance, based on that description. I'd want things locked down for security, and I'm sure the priority isn't fragmentation. Even so, were it to happen, it would be cool.
