    Dativerse when? Seems like this is ripe for disruption by a free solution

          I think those could be dealt with, but just the sheer bandwidth of someone loading 3-10 images per profile and then rapidly flicking through them and onto the next one…

          The storage costs would be one thing, but the bandwidth of that would be another entirely.

          As much as I’d like to think that people would donate, I’ve found the majority of people to be pretty cheap and unwilling to donate money for something they can get for free.

          I think most major instances only allow linking to videos and won’t allow you to directly upload it.

      Yes, why can’t Lemmy just work for that?

      Just create a “City Nama, M4W/M4M/W4W/W4M.MM4W…etc”

      That would work no?
