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.

    @maegul there should really be a license for that, which allows for free use in a non-commercial manner but triggers a responsibility to contribute back financially, even in a small way, when there is commerce involved.

    This could provide a funding model for #FOSS #OpenSource projects that are exploited by the likes of #amazon etc that could and should be supporting them, for the value they bring.
