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.

    Well that’s also where fediverse is a perk. There are, and likely will always be parallel channels on different instances. IE so while lemmy.ml may have the largest asklemmy, there probably will be smaller less active asklemmy’s on other instances.
