  • I migrated from Digg to Reddit in Dec 2009. I’ve gone through several accounts since then. I’ve deleted the most recent accounts and have tried to delete the older ones - although Reddit won’t let me delete one account for some reason (delete keeps failing). I joined the Aussie Zone Lemmy instance and love it here. One thing I think redditfugees need to remember is that Lemmy instances are not ad supported, so WE NEED TO FINANCIALLY SUPPORT OUR HOME INSTANCES!




  • I’m part of that Jun/Jul bump, as I, along with many others fled the tyranny of Reddit during the aborted mod protests! One thing I’m starting to understand is that most (all?) Lemmy instances are self-funded and are supported by donations and not ad revenue. I think that users need to get into the mindset of supporting their home instance financially.

    • Lodion posted the costs involved in running this instance here. Call it A$60/month (which will cover the ‘at this point’ yearly costs as well). If more people join this instance then the hardware and storage costs could increase significantly (from Lodion’s post).
