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.

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 just created [email protected] but not taking signups so you have to use an account from a federated instance.

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

DO lowest tier i’m on is 20gb, but hetzner is slightly cheaper with more ram and 40gb.

Attempting to get my lemmy instance going properly. Got it running on digital ocean but they don’t allow outgoing email and reccomend a third party service. I decided to try out Hetzner and am getting errors saying that docker compose isn’t installed when running the ansible script.
