I’ve just re-discovered ollama and it’s come on a long way and has reduced the very difficult task of locally hosting your own LLM (and getting it running on a GPU) to simply installing a deb! It also works for Windows and Mac, so can help everyone.
I’d like to see Lemmy become useful for specific technical sub branches instead of trying to find the best existing community which can be subjective making information difficult to find, so I created !Ollama@lemmy.world for everyone to discuss, ask questions, and help each other out with ollama!
So, please, join, subscribe and feel free to post, ask questions, post tips / projects, and help out where you can!
Thanks!
Yes, they are still running. alien.top has been blocked by some, but the topic-specific instances have no reason to be a source of issues.
Just think of it this way: as slow as the existing community is, the community you want to build is even further behind. If we join forces, we can go a lot further than by trying to keep things separate.
They already have 122 subscribers, it took less than a day to have 15 times more subscribers, it wasn’t that much behind.
Isn’t it really expensive (in time or in money) to have all these instances? I see you sell some kind of accounts, does it worth?
Number of subscribers is not that relevant as a metric. It’s more interesting to see overall activity.
These instances are cheap to operate because they don’t have any users. They are all free to use and are not related to Communick, which provides accounts to the instances that accept accounts only for paying subscribers.
If you are asking if I am making lots of money with this, the answer is no. I am doing it now because I think it’s the only way to make it fair and sustainable.
