Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Earlier today a comrade got a pretty good tankie instance for Mastodon on this post of theirs. So I was thinking, due such things exist for other federated platforms such as Pixelfed and Peertube? And if so, which are the best for our purposes?

No, there are not other, and I think we should proceed with care. Hosting fees are a burden specially for something that might die, I don't think a Pixelfed instance would be so useful now since the platform in general doesn't have much activity as Mastodon does. On the PeerTube case, it would be nice, but videos require a lot of storage space, increasing hosting fees even more, so it gets complicated.

We also have a Matrix instance, which is hosted by Genzedong people.

A BookWyrm instance where book clubs could be formed around would be a really nice idea.

Whoa, I'd totally be up for hosting a bookwyrm instance. I'll forward this to the mod team.

2nded on peertube. It's wonderful software, but it's a massive hard drive expense for anyone who runs one, and not as good as just using torrents for the same purpose.

(I've lost track: do you still have a personal downvoter? Or does someone dislike books or torrents?)

Its a personal downvoter, I know who it is, nbd.
