hi all!

so, I guess all the instances and the development itself are in need of some money to be run.

do all the instances need to survive on their own?

I'm not sure how it works in the background, but instances with a small community would still need to be able to mirror all the threads from other instances - if its community requests it
did I get this wrong?

I'm currently supporting the development through Patreon, but I guess sometime in the future l, it would be wise to split this with server costs for the instances.

or do I miss something?

thanks!

thanks, but sorry, that wasn't the question.
I'm perfectly aware of the user end principle, but I'm not so sure about the technical backend.

where is the data of remote instances stored?
if this is synced to the local instance, than small servers would need to mirror remote content.

but I guess, I'll check the ActivityPub and Lemmy Doc/Code
