Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca
- Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan

So does .CA
It's one of the advantages of the being a lot of sys admins and Linux users in this community.
You can run Lemmy pretty comfortably on used servers.
I'm running mine on a ~$33/year VPS at GreenCloudVPS. It's a small instance (just me) but it federates with all the major instances which means it still does a bunch of work (since it has to handle incoming posts and comments from federated servers). It's a decently powerful VPS with an AMD EPYC Milan CPU, 10GB RAM, and 100GB NVMe storage.
For a medium-sized instance, I imagine you could get pretty far with a single <$100/month dedicated server from Hetzner or a similar provider.
That seems quite cheap, was it a discount? I can't find a 33$ yearly plan on their website
Yeah, a Black Friday sale.
They do have some deals always available, but the specs aren't as good as the Black Friday ones: https://greencloudvps.com/billing/store/budget-kvm-sale
RackNerd also have some deals that are always available on their site. .
Oh, that's still very cool, thanks!
