Comment on The Great Migration to Bluesky Gives Me Hope for the Future of the Internet
aeshna_cyanea@lemm.ee 1 day agoThere are already smaller appviews that use the existing hosting/authentication infra. Nothing with any real scale but for example there is a barebones reddit/hackernews equivalent frontpage.fyi

That’s interesting. This post had suggested it isn’t yet possible to host an AppView. It seems the reality is more complex.

That post refers to hosting an appview that does all the same things as the official one, which involves a ton of storage and bandwidth and processing (for recommendations, notifications, and all the other moving parts), and is closed source to boot.
Frontpage.fyi is a lot cheaper simply because its used by like 50 people tops.
