did you typo WYSIWYG acryomn or is this something new ?

1. they'll have to opensource the code if they use linux kernel
2. even with linux being vastly superior, it nice we have 3 major kernels with widely different approaches. it would be sad if either of these 3 dies out

oh, that kind of thing is handeled in the basic lemmy config file. I have a smtp server container deployed along with pict-rs, postgresql lemmy and lemmy-ui so you can use email verification and deploy full featured lemmy install :)

you're right. I'll run a server myself for some time. I have setup for lemmy and matrix so I'll start with them.

you're talking about problems i haven't thought about yet. am not charging anything right now am trying to build. If more resources are required I'll allocate and charge them.

further am not getting much interest from community so far, I'll repurpose it or make it some oss project, lol

for one instace you're correct but this will work when i have several instances running medium size applications.

for someone running a application which have 1k active monthly users this won't work.

For labour am the only one working on it and I don't intend on profit for now just cutting even.

mail requires reputation to work properly and not land in spam. i don't have mail services for now but that can configured by the user to work with something like mailgun or personal gmail account.

am working with oss saas like lemmy, mattermost, matrix for now

this is early testing phase. I have created and deployed a lemmy server and mattermost modules successfully and it works great.

technical details: all this works via cloud instances kinda like architecture, i create a instance (container or vm based on software req) and launch automated scripts to setup everything so people don't have to mess up working with insecure configurations. The backend api is golang and frontend is vuejs. I also have a WAF and security protocols to mitigate basic security flaws and botnet attacks. I need feedback on what our oss community surfers the most when hosting federated communities.

business side: I dont intend to charge for things in testing phase cause all i need is good feedback but as the server demands grows i'll be working with whatever you'll be paying for private instance (idk like $2 a month ?).

motivation: people use proprietary products cause they are already hosted and just avaiable. If we make this with oss products people will start using it. Making lemmy easy to setup will boost more community interaction and make lifes of current community mods easier :)

there is this hosting website just to solve this problem. It allows hosting of federated communities just easy as account. I understand this is old question pasting it here for people's reference ;) discord: https://discord.gg/pFpnU5GK3u
