I’m really enjoying lemmy. I think we’ve got some growing pains in UI/UX and we’re missing some key features (like community migration and actual redundancy). But how are we going to collectively pay for this? I saw an (unverified) post that Reddit received 400M dollars from ads last year. Lemmy isn’t going to be free. Can someone with actual server experience chime in with some back of the napkin math on how expensive it would be if everyone migrated from Reddit?

    Apropos of nothing, where are you finding domains for $10/year?

      I was able to get a .win domain for $4.16 yearly on cloudflare. Cloudflare seems to have some pretty cheap domains.

        From my understanding CloudFlare makes little to no money on domain sales so they essentially sell them at cost.

        A good tip is to use a coupon for a cheap first year price and transfer your domain to CloudFlare when the renewal is due

        Thank you so much for tipping me off on this, been looking to find a cheap domain name for a while, didn’t know Cloudflare had opened up as registrars, and more so that they were pretty cheap!

      I mean inflation might have hit them a little bit but dot coms have always been around $10 in my mind. Other TLDs can vary but you can get good deals through promotions sometimes.

      Were only talking about the address here.
