Even if that is an accurate number, there are only ~56 million Americans living in census defined rural areas. With some actual planning we should be able to get missing backbones from our urban areas (which should be getting far more funding). Wireless is also a gamechanger, with microwave, 5g (and nextgen 6g), and Starlink, and that can really reduce this cost since not everyone needs fiber. If we can incorporate requirements for new backbone lines with any greenfield rail or highway projects we can get wireless coverage out faster and cheaper.
What would be nest is a feed aggregatior that combos as a lemmy / larger fedi client. When reading your feed, there can be a comments button. The button would do a quick lookup to see if there has been any discussions tracked on your instance for that link and if so let you choose on of the results to join a discussion and a start new thread button that has a workflow for posting the link in a community you select.

Most of the others were Emacs related. I'm sure someone on here is even using the new emacs client lem to read this comment.
Thank you Ruud!
Neat story, but we need a Nitter / bird.makeup bot for Twitter links like we have with the Piped bot for Youtube links.
Finland via Hetzner IIRC.
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/506 . The devs are open to pull requests if you have the ability to make the change yourself and want it faster.
There is a Lemmy API hosted on each instance (its how the UI works) but it's pretty technical. There is an open ticket to add an easier backup / importing feature on the lemmy github.
You really should. https://indieweb.org has a lot of resources.
