I’m gonna keep posting on Lemmy and hope that helps. Our collective communities should not be in the hands of mega corporations.

What is a good usenet server for reading MBs of discussion every day?

So much this.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Yes, we just have to collectively make Lemmy grow until it's a true and complete replacement for classical monolith websites such as Reddit and Facebook groups.

Can someone tell me what happens if my Lemmy instance host shuts down 💀? Will my posts be deleted?
