Lemmy has many nearly abandoned instances. Over the entire period of its existence - several posts. Shouldn't the instance owner post content to attract users?

How does it not cost anything if it's being self-hosted? Doesn't that cost money?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Guess I should have said it cost me nothing extra because I already own the server.

Although Oracle's free tier exists.

Ah ok I'll look into that, I keep meaning to learn how to self host, thanks

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm also interested to learn self-hosting, it's the future of internet imho.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah it's the only alternative I can think of to things like Google drive honestly

If it's only for your files you can already do that without hosts, using Syncthing!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I'm using that to sync my Zettelkasten and school notes between my laptops and phone, it's pretty nifty.
