Hi there, fresh fledditor learning the ropes around here.

I have noticed there are a couple of communities that haven’t been created yet that I was a regular in on reddit. I’ve been thinking about starting new ones here, but don’t really understand who pays for the overhead if I create a new community.

Since this isn’t a centralized website like reddit, what infrastructure does a new community depend on and who pays for it?

Thanks yall.

    The new community is supported by whatever instance you create it on. For you it would be lemmy.world. the people who run said instance would take care of the overhead.
