Memmy is really good. The TestFlight is full but it’s about to get released on the App Store
wefwef is a web app and it’s also really good. You can install it to your home screen and you’d never know it wasn’t a native app.
Mlem has potential but so far it’s got a bit of work to do to catch up to the above two.
You can’t, but you can provide a list of instances and then tell it to subscribe to the top X communities in TopDay, Hot, Active, etc.
So far, not really. Only a few gigs so far, but it’s hard to predict how big it could get.
By the way, Oracle free tier has 200GB of storage for ARM64 systems.
I’m running a very small instance and I highly recommend using LCS:

Essentially it automatically subscribes to popular communities from other instances on behalf of a user within your instance. That way, when you want to subscribe to a community at some point, it’s quite likely that it will already be full of comments already.
So why are we getting so many earthquakes recently? I don’t really remember any before that big one in 2021.
That’s interesting, they’re two of my biggest interests. I wonder if this is true for a lot of other people.
About $5-$10 per month. I’m using an ARM64 system which make it even cheaper.
I’m hosting my own because it’s fun and it’s cheap to do it. I imagine it could get expensive to host bigger instances, and at that point the admins would likely look to donations to keep things going.
When this was announced I worked nearby and was excited about how much quicker I could get to work. Now, we don’t even have an office and everybody is working at home.
With the salary-celery merger that is especially prevalent in Melbourne:

I can’t tell if this is actually bad or just bitterness about losing the bid.
I have it set up so that a bot user is subscribing, not my user. That way the communities are populated with comments and appear in All if I’m interested in the future, but otherwise I wouldn’t see them. It makes my instance feel much more alive.
Also, it’s worth noting that you can provide a list of the Lemmy instances in the config. You can be as obscure as you like here.
I think the job of seeking out smaller, more niche communities has to be a manual one.
