A growing number of prefectures have stopped posting disaster warnings on the platform due to limits on the number of free posts allowed.

Agreed - any competent municipal IT dept. can set up an instance without breaking a sweat - set up a VM, install your OS of choice, install Lemmy & its stack, set up the DB, register the domain, find some interns to moderate & do scut work. Not completely trivial, but within modest means.
