It's a good thing but also might not be good if hosting costs become unsustainable. I hope we can cope.
Maybe for a time we could donate. But longterm I think advertisers and REASONABLY priced API access might make sense.
Also it might be better to host the pictures externally. And run the pict-rs server as an imgur alternative or even use imgur and giphy as a hoster. They have pretty decent prices.
Edit: To all the downvoters. Do you really think a site that manages hundreds of thousands of accounts and pictures is indefinitely going to be run without problems by a few guys for free?
Count me in.
I also made a new account yesterday cause I noticed that it already looked much better than when I last checked. If some of my niche hobby subs move over here I‘d definitely spend more time in the ‘verse.
Performance and design are other big factors I‘m not a fan of right now, I hope someone with expertise in these fields can help the project out, but it‘s already servicable.
Yeehaw!
Damn, I'm happy to see it moving so fast.
Any idea why I can't create a new post? It just spins forever the past 2 days.
That's strange. Post your question here and see how that goes: https://lemmy.world/c/nostupidquestions
Well the point is that I can't post, that's why I had to comment in a random thread 😄
Wow, brain fart on my part!
Can anyone explain what the point is of creating an instance and filling it with bots? Seems like it just costs money and time but with no benefit? Is it for a future spam campaign?
Is it for a future spam campaign?
Yes.
Ahh bots, the bane of the internet.
