There are a few companies making money from FOSS.
The two business models I see the most that seem to work:
- free software, paid support
- free software, paid hosting/ “SaaS”

Ok, thanks, so as long as the same instances are federated everything is fine, afterwards I might not see some posts. Got it.
Maybe in English it is not used as often. In Germany it is used as just Bundesrepublik in News etc to don’t repeat oneself too much or in historic context to differentiate from the German Democratic Republic (where the naming is again ironic, but it’s the Democratic party)
Bundesrepublik Deutschland (Federal republic of Germany)
I think Lemmy’s solution is better, but still not perfect. I can subscribe to communities of other instances from my own instance, but only if either a) I know the exact name and search for it, or b) someone else did before me.
Just for completeness: You can search with the “menu” icon in the bottom bar. Not all communities are federated yet, so you need to search for others on https://browse.feddit.de first and then search the exact full name of the community in your instance (didn’t work in the Jerboa search for me)
By exact I mean e.g. [email protected] (including the !)
Well it’s a little complicated. I have a router, but there are several different ways to get internet to your home where I live.
Yeah, in Germany if you don’t have Internet over cable you get a flexible IP. Not sure how it is with ftth which we will get in a few weeks.
Sadly my provider won’t let that happen. Except I pay for it. Or are you not talking about the public IP?
I know traefik, need to check out the scale machine though. How can I access it though if I don’t have a static IP and no DNS? I might use my routers VPN, but that wouldn’t work for my non-technical wife.
Well there’s also techies who don’t (only) use Linux and like (some) sports. More of a Sci-Fi and Comic Book guy than anime here.
Let’s see how this grows.
Does Vaultwarden do their own reverse-proxying, routing etc like e.g. Plex? I use my PM on my mobile all the time from everywhere and last time I tried setting up DynDNS or so it really didn’t work. Maybe I need to invest more time.
But couldn’t it be made easier? Who cares which server a community or a user is registered on. I register where a friend sent me the link to and from there on it shouldn’t matter and could be handled in the background.
The big sites are also not one central instance. They have several distributed instances all managed by the same company.
How did you get your friends over?
Thanks. I’m quite new to the fediverse, but really love the idea.
What’s keeping you from creating those niche communities here? As long as it’s still a manageably small community here, moderating it wouldn’t be much of a hassle.
Is this also possible for Lemmy? Would be nice to get Lemmy community posts3in RSS feeds
