Fair point, probably won’t work for mbin because they /m/ instead.

Works fine for photon/tesseract/all lemmy UIs though.

Yeah it’s creating a link - you can use the ! method too but meh I prefer my links to look clean.

You can create a link to any community by linking in this format: /c/community@instance.tld i.e. [fedigrow](/c/fedigrow@lemm.ee) becomes fedigrow and is instance-agnostic.

Ibis is really early days. I hosted it for a bit and had things like federation issues and softlocks. Will be really interesting when it’s a bit more mature though.

There are additional costs that aren’t factored in (although they’re not specifically lemmy, and I pay for them myself rather than use donations) such as a very cheap vps for our status.lemmy.zip page and i got a 3 year deal for an external email provider for less than some email providers wanted a month.

Our server is the same one feddit.uk use (a hetzner auction server) although lemmy.zips I think was a touch more expensive per month. But it’s got a lot of room for growth.

Also we now host all our backups offside too, which adds a little on top. I’ll probably cover this in the next server update.

100% spot on. I got called all sorts of names for pointing this out, but maybe my own fault for pointing it out on one of their posts! 😅
