I'm fairly new and don't 100% understand it yet, but instances are run on servers that require money. Are we heading towards seeing ads or subscriptions to raise funds instead of relying on donations to cover overhead?
Especially with the influx of new users. Hardware upgrades are needed.
Newbie here - just wondering if there are any advantages to signing up to other instances. We can still see/comment on posts from other instances, right? Or do I have that wrong?
Edit: thanks, everyone who responded! Got it.
Is there any way for blocked communities/users to NOT appear in any of my feeds?
It's my only complaint/request. Otherwise, it's great and is now my default app.
