Are there any paid services for either Lemmy or Mastodon? Something where, given it is a subscription service, you would expect them to stick around long-term?

    I run my own Mastodon server and getting it filled with meaningful content is a pain. You can do it with relays and fedifetcher and other tools like that, it it’s a lot easier to rely on someone else’s server and the content that gets pooled there.

    No need to let servers grow to mastodon.social size, but single user servers are a suboptimal way of participating in Mastodon unless you have a very strict set of accounts you wish to follow.

      I don’t know about Mastodon. I run my own Lemmy server, single user. I sometimes run a discovery script honger my “all” populated and I’m good to go.
