My mam sends me them sometimes but shes just old lol

I’ve donated to wikipedia before because I feel its valuable to me for all the information it gives.

I might donate to lemmy if i feel its valuable to me for information or discussions

If the fediverse gets really big, lets say the size of reddit, it may be hard for all the different instances to store all that data on their servers

So lets say lemmy.world and then lets take beehaw.org (I know they are defederated lets assume they are not) for example. All the posts and comments which are hosted by lemmy.world on hard drives or servers, are also hosted by beehaw.org and vice versa? So the amount of data is actually doubled in size?

Nothing is stopping me from burning my house down but what if the person who hosted this website / instance doesn’t want to pay to host all the data anymore or manage it (or is that not how it works)

OK thanks. I am still a bit confused at how it works tho, if they did nuke the website, where would the data from the post and comments be stored

So you would still be able to see the posts and their comments on other servers?
