I'm thinking there could be three types of communities here:

One for non-US-centric (or eurocentric) sharing of news and politics

One similar to the above, but for non-politically-centered content. Maybe more focused on culture and other types of discussions rather than politics

One for asking questions or discussion of AMAs

Do any of these exist? If not, could we make them? I could volunteer to moderate. I am not very online, but traffic here seems low and manageable.

What are the cons of using Google analytics?

I suppose this may make sense in the case of something like Mastodon. But something as versatile and customizable as lemmy, which allows for the existence of separate topic-based communities, makes topic-based instances of lemmy not necessary.

Instead of making a new instance for a certain topic, it is usually a much better approach to just create a new community on my current lemmy instance. At least from my perspective as a user.

I find the only exception to this is censorship and moderation. If I, for any reason am unhappy with an instance's moderation and censorship, then that is the only potential reason I can see to change and make my own.

What does everyone else think of this?

I wanted to start learning Java's Spring Framework and Spring Boot. Coming from Node.JS, I found this article to be an amazing introduction to Spring's concepts.

I find myself doing this a lot, and it may be good to share it somewhere. Consider it a way to combat capitalist realism. Yes, there are many unknowns in Communist society that are difficult and maybe impossible to predict. But it would be nice to have a community like this.

I am bad with naming things. What should we call it? Additionally, I unfortunately cannot dedicate the time to moderate it, so I would hope someone else is willing

I don't really have a serious threat model. But if I host a VPS, I might as well do it with a privacy respecting company if the cost difference isn't massive.

Preferably something under $15 per month. I'm not necessarily looking for the cheapest, but the best general value per dollar ideally.
