I'm not too worried about it.

It costs me less than $10/mo to run mine and some of that is because I have to pay for an email forwarder until my hosting provider lets me start sending emails, part of that is factoring the cost of the domain name. The actual cloud server costs $5/mo right now.

Also dull people

An entire meme instance with no users attatched to it with multiple specific meme communities

I created dullsters.net just for just one community, it could be more if there were demand for dull content or another dull community wanted to come over, but I don't have any plans to make it some big thing.

Employers can't discriminate against people for being 40+ for housing it's 55+ they can legally say you're too young to work or live somewhere

According to u.s. law, age discrimination kicks in at 40. If you're under 40 they can say you're too young.

Our cat slides hair ties or socks under the bathroom door so that you can play with her.

I created an instance for one specific community so that users won't be affected by who federates from who (unless you're a spam instance or something like that)

!dullsters@dullsters.net

like pc-partpicker

The best idea I can come up with is a federated marketplace. Each vendor has their own instance. Buyers can browse the marketplace and have a unified checkout experience. Vendors would have unified product posts so whichever vendor has the best price or fastest shipping (user preference) would get the sale. USPS for example has shipping zones which determine the price for shipping depending on distance.

The best example I can come up with is rockauto. They are a central marketplace of different auto parts suppliers. You can find parts that are in the same location in order to combine shipping.

If you put a part in your cart it will then show parts that are in the same warehouse.

Bittorrent is federated streaming video before it was cool.

If you have a network of paricipating stores, then they can agree to take each others physical returns and inspect them.

I used all my free screenshots for the month, I don't have Windows+

I run a paid lemmy community, I mean I'm the one paying for it (it's not expensive to do)

!dullsters@dullsters.net

Thanks, that makes sense.

Either way the content will go onto their server because of federation. It eliminates some workload from those admins if the small instance is actively modderating.

The point is more federation, not less. Decentralizing prevents any big rifts in the fediverse from fracturing the community.

Well please come share your dull experiences at both if you like. The original community gets about a dozen posts per week, sundays are generally the most "busy" people like picture posts a lot.

I'm not sure if that has changed. I navigated to dull mens club with my account on the new instance. It automatically put dull mens club on my frontpage without me subscribing to it and a bunch of instances showed up as federated.

I just created !dullsters@dullsters.net but not taking signups so you have to use an account from a federated instance.
