  • We should have an option to merge communities in 1 single feed or something. Or maybe a grouping function, where we could name the group, and any communities under that group would show as a single group. Then other people could like your group and also subscribe etc. But that way maybe things could get complicated. I mean for the average Joe it will already be difficult IMO to make the effort to understand the Fediverse. I mean I took my time to understand it and start using it, cause I was lazy and had Reddit. I guess there are no perfect solutions, there’s always dissadvantages. For sure 1 thing that is attactive with centralized systems is the peace of mind when it comes to understanding it, because it’s simple etc. Like starting using Crypto vs using a bank account and so on. Oh I’m rambling already.



  • In case of Lemmy I used Lemmy-Easy-Deploy script. To host I used Oracle Cloud always free tier. Its risky because I’ve heard people say that since its free they can just pull the plug at any time, so you might consider to upgrade it to paid account, I heard its cheap. About requirements I have no idea. Im running my on a VM instance with Ubuntu minimal 22.04 aarch64. I pushed it to the maximum allowed for free account: 4 ARM cpu with 24Gb of Ram. I dont know anything about hosting mastodon.
