    To be fair, Reddit operates on a much larger scale even for small subs

    Not playing devils advocate, but the burden of hosting lemmy is not comparable today

      Totally fair, massive databases, multiple levels of APIs, hooks, events, thousands of CPU cores and thousands of gigs of ram. I was being snarky.

      However, still doesn’t even come close to justifying that cost
