And that they will federate with them ? (Can’t seem to find it anymore at least)

I wonder how many people we’re gonna lose over this, because I for one, spent time blocking what I wanted to, to curate my feed, and it took time. I already migrated once, I’m not gonna do it again because some people can’t realize how toxic it’s going to be when they federate with us.

I see a lot of people saying they’ll just switch instances but haven’t seen anyone say they’ll just jump ship, am I alone ? Or maybe I’m missing an option that would allow me to transfer all my settings from one instance to another ?

      I had a spare computer that I installed Linux on a while back, but wasn’t using it for much at the time. If set up like that, all you would pay for is the electricity, which is very low if you’re only running Lemmy, probably only a couple of US dollars a month. You could probably run it on a raspberry pi, tbh.

      Personally, I have solar panels that power my whole house. So it’s free for me.

          I live relatively close to the equator (Texas), so it’s actually better for me in the winter because I don’t need to run the AC.

              Not sure what you mean, but I just meant that because I use about a quarter of the electricity in the winter while still generating about 90% as much electricity, I end up selling a ton of electricity back to the grid, building up credits that I can use for cloudy days in the spring.
