Is this a growing product market? Will this lower the barrier to entry for less technical communities, much like the wave of turn-key WordPress hosting solutions did for the general public starting in the mid 2000s?
Looks like there are instance options for Mastodon, Lemmy, but not yet Kbin:
Does anyone know of similar competitors to Elestio in this sub-market?
The three major cloud providers all have marketplaces where people can “spin up” VMs that others host images of - here is an example of mastodon on Azure from bitnami - https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/bitnami.mastodon?tab=Overview
So I figure it should be easy / fast for anyone to turn these on.
Pretty curious what the costs of running a large instance like
lemmy.world
is…
