You definitely can’t scale a monolith the same way you can scale a micro service
And once the devs can’t maintain server costs, they should shut down new registrations.
There’s no need to charge for servers
Lemmy’s would benefit from scaling horizontally (more instances) instead of vertically (bigger instances)
Karma is so pointless and I’ve never understood why you’d ‘farm’ it
Your first 5 email masks are free and if you install the extension a little icon will appear in most email fields. Let’s you create a new mask right there.
If you buy the premium version you can get your own custom subdomain: @XXXX.mozmail.com where you pick XXXX
This way you don’t even need the extension. You can just do something like “Lemmy@XXXX.mozmail.com” and Relay will “create” that email for you. Cannot recommend it enough, especially since it’s free to start
I appreciate all the informed takes people have in this thread.
Good QA/testing teams can make or break your product, but there’s only so many things they can cover in such a massive project
Firefox Relay is by far the easiest (and imo best) solution for that
You can try it for free and if you use it enough it only costs $24 a year
You definitely haven’t played ESO
Is it not 70 dollars?
