Hi. I’m new to Lemmy. Here’s what I’m wondering. How Lemmy servers are paid. If the person who opens the server no longer wants to pay this fee, the server has to shut down. How is this issue resolved?

It’s important to chose a instance with a reputable host.

Don’t go join your neighbors basement troll server.

Pick something that’s established, then they will typically not shut down.

Speaking of basement troll servers, I think hosting your own instance is probably the best way to go about it if you can.

Unfortunately it’s harder to remain anonymous that way though. I’m really wanting to do this but I don’t see how it’s doable without going over Tor or I2P.

Single-user basement troll servers are the way forward in the fediverse.

Use ZeroTier or Tailscale tunneling if you're hosting from your home network (fuck Cloudflare, all my homies hate Cloudflare). You can also rent a cloud server, put a VPN on it and tunnel all of the traffic to your homeserver without exposing the homeserver itself to the internet. Or just put the instance on the cloud server itself.

I might be out of the loop, why?
