I am a very patient Apollo refugee. It may take many weeks for some servers to adapt to the ever-growing influx and for new apps to squash bugs and build out functionality. My body is ready. This is now home.
People! It’s open-source and community driven effort.
Lemmy is a software that can be hosted by anyone. So people just buy servers and run Lemmy instances on them. Of course, if a server has more members, it would require more hardware to run. So either upgrade the server to facilitate more users, or admins can stop the signup process.
People can also donate for maintenance of the server.
I subbed to the lemmy.world patreon a few weeks ago :) gotta help @Ruud pay for his experiment. It also helps to remember he only started this server on June 1st and the Lemmy code is under constant development as well.

All we gotta do is be patient. It will work out fine, Lemmy has a lot of potential!
I want to believe, but who’s paying the hosting bills?

I am. Started my monthly OpenCollective contribution yesterday.
how the hell did you manage to have negative downvotes 👀
Ahh, Lemmy servers working up their magic and removing the negativity!

Fellow Apollo refugee here too! Lemmy will work! It must!
I’m proud of myself that I haven’t visited Reddit since Apollo went dark.
