I think that would be great! I’m sure it’s more difficult than it seems, though, to port over the entire backend to Lemmy, especially with its decentralized nature. Also I’m sure Christian is a bit burnt out after the Reddit fiasco, so I can’t fault him for taking a breather.
I think it was! See Christian’s website for example. I think it’s easy to forget since it’s a one-time payment and fairly cheap.
