We can all go to iHop and drink coffe for 3 hours and talk about the difference between pancakes and flapjacks.

I made a whole instance just for the dull community

I also mod [email protected]

I make content to help the communities grow, it’s hard not to participate when you tend to check those communities frequently. I also try not to participate too much because I realize that it’s not MY community. I’m more interested in the unique culture they develop. I have rarely had to take moderation actions, it’s really not something I like doing. I never want to take adverse actions against someone because of what they do outside of the community. Of course all of that would be very undull and therefore go against the rules and principles of the communities.

You can post about pancakes in either one if you want, it would probably be a big hit.

This is the guide I used, it’s pretty automatic with ansible.

I’m not too worried about it.

It costs me less than $10/mo to run mine and some of that is because I have to pay for an email forwarder until my hosting provider lets me start sending emails, part of that is factoring the cost of the domain name. The actual cloud server costs $5/mo right now.

Also dull people

An entire meme instance with no users attatched to it with multiple specific meme communities

I created dullsters.net just for just one community, it could be more if there were demand for dull content or another dull community wanted to come over, but I don’t have any plans to make it some big thing.

I created an instance for one specific community so that users won’t be affected by who federates from who (unless you’re a spam instance or something like that)

like pc-partpicker

The best idea I can come up with is a federated marketplace. Each vendor has their own instance. Buyers can browse the marketplace and have a unified checkout experience. Vendors would have unified product posts so whichever vendor has the best price or fastest shipping (user preference) would get the sale. USPS for example has shipping zones which determine the price for shipping depending on distance.

The best example I can come up with is rockauto. They are a central marketplace of different auto parts suppliers. You can find parts that are in the same location in order to combine shipping.

If you put a part in your cart it will then show parts that are in the same warehouse.

Bittorrent is federated streaming video before it was cool.

If you have a network of paricipating stores, then they can agree to take each others physical returns and inspect them.

I used all my free screenshots for the month, I don’t have Windows+

Thanks, that makes sense.

Either way the content will go onto their server because of federation. It eliminates some workload from those admins if the small instance is actively modderating.

The point is more federation, not less. Decentralizing prevents any big rifts in the fediverse from fracturing the community.

Well please come share your dull experiences at both if you like. The original community gets about a dozen posts per week, sundays are generally the most “busy” people like picture posts a lot.

I’m not sure if that has changed. I navigated to dull mens club with my account on the new instance. It automatically put dull mens club on my frontpage without me subscribing to it and a bunch of instances showed up as federated.

I’m not doing any users or subscribing to any communities, just hosting a community. Should be pretty chill.
