Attached: 1 image #SpaceHost is now giving money to the #Lemmy developers on a monthly basis. If someone hosts a #Lemmy instance with #SpaceHost — #SpaceHost will give a portion of the net revenue to the Lemmy developers on an ongoing basis. As more people host Lemmy servers with #SpaceHost , the amount we will be able to give to the Lemmy developers will increase. ( #SpaceHost will do the same for every other open-source Fediverse software we host, too.) https://spacehost.one/ #SpaceHostBTS .

The platform/service is still in beta and opening up invites to its first users now.

The main developer is on mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@reiver

Their webpage if you want to signup for early access: https://spacehost.live/

From what I’ve gathered, they intend to support a variety of fediverse platforms, but have started with lemmy with kbin close behind.

    Ok so, the instance owner pays them to host, and with that revenue… They pay the instance owner back? Isn’t that just a “discount” with more steps?

      No, they’re giving money back to the developers of the platform software, ie the devs of lemmy.
