Sounds like a variant of Doom. Now I want to play this game and shoot up the monsters.

He is right though, 5000 USD per month for an instance with 12k monthly active users is completely unrealistic, or it is run very inefficiently. mastodon.world is a similar size and costs much less than 2300 Euro per month (which includes numerous other instances like lemmy.world etc).

We don’t have the capacity to implement all the features users ask for, at least not without additional contributors or waiting a long time. So it’s better to implement it as a bot.

The cleanest solution seems to be the one described in my previous comment, so you get an archived community with all the original content, correct usernames etc. And make a new community for new posts. Or have the bot create new posts and comments with the same content, and credit the author in markdown body. But that seems like a worse solution in many ways.

Many of these are already implemented in Lemmy, others are too controversial and wont be added (such as karma).

We are currently preparing the 1.0 release which will have lots of major new features, such as private communities, multi-communities and much more. Although 0.19 is also getting constant updates with smaller improvements, for example 0.19.11.

Can you say which mod tools Piefed has that are missing from Lemmy?

Im not familiar with Wikidata, but with enough development time it could probably also be recreated as a Fediverse project.

Thanks :)

Fully agree that theres too much politics. Like you say too often about attacking some kind of enemy rather trying to understand other perspectives. For better or for worse, those seem to be the types of people more likely to use a new platform like Lemmy. Hopefully in the future they will also get tired of this stuff.

Thank you, all donations help :)

I hope youre right :)

Oh no i’m so offended 😱😱😱

Seems like a lot of effort, and then people will still keep complaining and demand more.

Liberapay is preferable as it has low fees and is also open source.

I actually got in contact with them yesterday, will probably have a meeting soon to discuss how we can work together with them.

Sure just one line I have to parrot and you will be happy. But then it still wont be enough and you will ask something else, right? I dont have time for your little games, I have work to do.

Liberapay is the best option, because it doesnt take any fees beyond payment processing, and its also open source. Thanks for donating!

I see, or simpler yet a special badge which is shown next to donor’s username. Definitely worth considering. Thanks for the suggestion!

And would happily donate to them if they needed it.

So you are not donating anyway? It seems to me like there is a vocal minority of users who make any type of excuse for the fact that they are unwilling to donate. Instead of being honest about that, you demand from us to make more and more changes, which will piss off other users and will likely not lead to any actual increase in donations.
