Curious how lemmy servers are paid for. Is it donation?

This question may be moot but it’s something I’ve been thinking about. I’ve only recently jumped into this brave new world so you’ll have to forgive my ignorance....

I can tag @Foreplay241 AND @Foreplay241 and I will be able to see their accounts through this portal/view/media?..

I was gonna ask about the biometrics part in a separate question, but its both about security, so might as well combine it in one post....

If I wanted to make a USB desk fan from a spare CPU fan (input: 12V, 0.15A), could I just solder a resistor to the positive lead of the USB wire? I plan on getting an adjustable voltage booster, but I was curious if this was possible. I think I would need a 13 ohm resistor for USB 3.0.

As the Fediverse grows more and more, rules and regulations become more important. For example, is Lemmy GDPR complient? If not, are admins aware of the possible consequence? What does this mean for the growth of Lemmy?

Basically the title. I am thinking I want to start my own instance but not sure what is required? Can someone give me a tldr or link to proper webpage?

I see people cross-posting but I don’t know how they are doing it. All I see for posting options on the lemmy interface is a single community I can select.

I feel like over the past few months, the main thing preventing me from getting super active in the fediverse has been all of the drama surrounding federation and instances shutting down....

What is the point of different servers having communities with the same purpose? For example, the linux gaming community on this server, and the same community but on another server like lemmy.ml

I can see the comment contents by selecting View source on a deleted comment. Is this a bug or a feature? Or something configurable per instance?...

Can Lemmy federate with these platforms?...

I’m so rich! I had so much toilet paper in 2020 that I could afford cooking oil in 2022!

A post over at YSK talked about flossing, and mentioned water picks....

I want to connect five OV2640 cameras via FPC to an ESP32 on a custom PCB. Is this generally possible and does the ESP32 have enough power for this or do I need an ESP32 for each camera? The frames per second are not so important as the cameras will be used as QR code scanners. Which components allow to run so many cameras with...

I tried adding an AUX jack to a car stereo with an internal CD player and no native support for one....

So I’m tired of dealing with Google not respecting my content preferences and I’m looking for a story viewer with a little bit more control. Anyone have any ideas or good programs?

I’m looking for a version of this connector (2x2, 2.54mm):...

It is not the matter of what if you are found. It’s the matter of when.

If you do, then what exactly defines a soul in your view?

I loved the stories. Is there a community for horror-stories?

This goes out to all the homies that don’t have the time/energy to moderate, and to the ones that do that would like ideas (If there’s been posts about this already then I’m srry)

I really liked Spotify, but when they started subsidizing hate speech I left. For the last year, I keep trying different platforms and cannot find anything that works well. I am ok with spending money for no ads. I have very diverse music tastes so want to have different “stations” based on my mood. Any suggestions?

To someone who is subscribed to multiple communities on Reddit, has there been any change in their feed in their quality or amount of posts since July 1st? Any change in the amount of comments in the posts? Even the number of community subscribers?...
