I find this amazing. I hope Lemmy takes over as the one Reddit alternative. As I've been experimenting with it today I think it's on an amazing growth path and hopefully more streamlined communities will be setup too!

I’m kind of worried for the admin, though, since all the hosting is being done by them personally, and as Sopuli grows, that’s bound to get more expensive.

Lemmy’s biggest potential weakness is also its biggest strength: federalised and personal communities can and will go dark all of a sudden, making information and accounts very ephemeral.

In the FAQ it says

A: Currently hosting Sopuli costs me ~12 € per month so it’s mere pocket change. I will however not rule out donations in the future.

I bet there will be a pinned post on this topic in Meta, if new users keep coming.

Well, you have been worried for a reason, and I have been worrying whether this instance holds up.

Hey, I’m the creator of japaneselanguage, and I really hope this instance stays up, so if you need any assistance or help, or if you’re opening donations any time soon, I would be happy to help in any way I can!

That's an actual big fear of mine. Is there a way to donate to an instance?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Some other instances have a donate button, but sopuli doesn't, at least at the moment. In the FAQ they say that it's not costing them much to host but I wouldn't be surprised if they add a donate button somewhat soon.
