My point is that sure while it's new and shiny everyone wants to try it out but I think over time people will get bored with self hosting lemmy and move onto other things. I might setup my own on a free tier VPS or something because that's a thing for some reason, let Amazon Microsoft or oracle pay for it lol
Wait till someone builds a narrow AI just to maintain and update a server. The ability to conveniëntly self host services with a single installer is going to become a new commodity to sell next to freemium/subscription corporate services
No AI required https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible
Yes, I'm using exactly that.
