I'd be curious to know how much overhead lemmy needs. Being built on rust, I can't imagine it's super resource intensive. I've been wanting to do some research into it. Might spin up a server and gauge it.

If things are relatively low-resource, it likely wouldn't be hard to find someone to volunteer hosting. I know I would, etc.

I also wonder if there is a way to load-balance lemmy instances. Hmm. Curious...

haha, yes. New verbiage is great.

Oh, sure. We never want to portray a sense of gatekeeping in our methods of describing, even at a basic level, what the general basis behind "SolarPunk" is, but in some cases, not having a general understanding of what the concept entails at first glance may in and of itself keep people from progressing further, just due to fears of the unknown and a lack of desire to do their own research.

 

Coming from a large sub, people will eventually try to nitpick with verbiage.

I think it may be prudent to separate the "unless linking to..." second half of the No SPAM rule to its own, differently worded rule encompassing the allowance of regulated/occasional sharing of relevant but external work that they directly represent.

Haha, Yes. Something like this (He/him is fine, btw). Considering I had never even heard of the phrase "Solarpunk" until a few days ago, it would be handy to have at the very least a one-liner somewhere that gives someone unfamiliar with the phrase a quick rundown of what to expect.

Wow, cool. I feel like this should be either pinned as a link, or the text copied, pasted, and credited at the top of this topic. It helps to have a clearly-defined boundary and definition of what we're theory-crafting for.

How do you feel about the migration process?

Defining Solarpunk? (self.solarpunk)

Hey all! New to the instance here, per invite from @ex_06@slrpnk.net and wanted to put this out there.

Can we have some kind of pinned post or link that goes over the fundamentals of Solarpunk? It sounds intriguing as hell, and I'd love to learn more about it, but also, I'd rather not have to get sucked into a Wikipedia rabbit hole to do so.

Something like a TL;DR of the main points, like why it's valuable, the main ways to execute, the primary modes of sustainability, etc.

Would love to hear more.
