Comment on Lemmy instances that are focused on mirroring Reddit content?

  Thank you for the kind words, but I’m probably not going to do this for meme communities for the following reasons:

  • lots of images means hosting a lot of content and a big storage bill.
  • lots of users with lots of comments/submissions, will be hard to mirror those without hitting API rate-limiting ceilings.
  • if the mirrored instance gets lots of bot accounts who post nothing but low-quality content, it will make the people here on Lemmy associate it with spam.

  But if you really want those, you can get a domain name and I could perhaps host it for you on communick.com ?

    This is my first time looking into this service, but I would be willing to pay to have the service hosted. Does your link above include a way to get started with running the software you coded?

      At the moment I’m only offering managed hosting for Lemmy, but I can work on adding the fediverser admin as well. If you give a day or two I can have it set up.
