I started lemdro.id. Pretty cool domain name, right?
Edit: A fix has been deployed, and federation should work now. Unfortunately, kbin.social is taking its sweet time federating with us, it is probably overloaded. Lemdro.id is already accessible from other kbin instances such as fedia.io (https://fedia.io/m/android@lemdro.id)
Hello! Admin here at lemdro.id. This is the result of several problems in the lemmy default reference nginx config. I am working on resolving this right now and should have it fixed within the next 30 minutes!
sure! take a look at this issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/issues/106
It is likely yours is fixed if you deployed recently

lemdro.id was actually created with the original intent of hosting Android, but has kind of grown a little to more general technical content in the same realm. I definitely hear your point though. Personally, my hope is this helps take load off of lemmy.world. This is my contribution to make the fediverse more viable long-term as it continues to grow
To add on to what @ijeff said, eventually the plan is to open up community contributions. However, they are not needed since so far hosting costs are looking to be around $40/mo (for a setup which is highly available!) which is low enough I’m happy to fund it for eternity.
I’ve seen other instances have luck with asking for low amounts of contributions through ko.fi or GitHub sponsors and we will eventually do something similar. I’m waiting until I have the infrastructure in a stable place (i.e. not changing too much) and I have open-sourced all of the setup work.
Not trying to argue any points but one of the good parts of running on lemdro.id is the Android community has a close connection with the admin(s) (me!). So it would be trivial to remove a mod if it came to it vs having to coordinate with already busy lemmy.world admins. My personal goal when starting lemdro.id was to help spread out the load so that federation can continue to flourish as Lemmy grows. As well as being a more focused instance to cater to the needs of technical communities.
