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.

    They may want to add a description of what the hell it is, instead of just linking to a website that is only an email gathering prompt. Right now all I can gather from comments on it is that it monetizes the fediverse “somehow”, but there’s zero explanation of where the money comes from, who it goes to, who the whole thing supports, etc etc. If they don’t want to seem sketchy as hell, they should be forthcoming about who they are and how they work.
