With Lemmy, you can easily host your own server, and all these servers are federated, and connected to the same universe, called the Fediverse. For a link aggregator, this means that someone registered on one server can subscribe to communities elsewhere, and can have discussions with people on a completely different server.

Is this a growing product market? Will this lower the barrier to entry for less technical communities, much like the wave of turn-key WordPress hosting solutions did for the general public starting in the mid 2000s?

Looks like there are instance options for Mastodon, Lemmy, but not yet Kbin:

  • https://elest.io/open-source/mastodon
  • https://elest.io/open-source/lemmy
  • ?

Does anyone know of similar competitors to Elestio in this sub-market?
