Haha, got a "network error" on my first attempt so clicked send again, I guess it did go through the first time after all :D
Lemmy still feels pretty niche so I also found it surprising for me, although it probably shouldn't be, there are quite a lot and they have to be somewhere :)
I believe if you hosted your own instance you would have to get access because of how federation works, so it might stay as something like most apps/uis won't expose it because it's a little invasive, but it's definitely still accessible without too much work.
My understanding (from limited knowledge) is that also due to how federation works even if you're instance isn't under too much load, you may notice issues with posts/comments from other instances if they're struggling.
On that note, I think a post view limit would be good too. Maybe 10 posts a day for accounts who haven't donated and 100 for those who have?
I don't really understand AdNauseam. Can't they also not build a profile with a normal ad blocker, but you also completely avoid interacting with the trackers (so better for performance, data usage, etc)?
