Comment on Lemmy instances that are focused on mirroring Reddit content?
rglullis@communick.news 1 year agoThank 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.

You can host it, that’s fine. I just want my memes however they happen lol. I’d I just have to buy a domain I’ll do so
