Excellent. As a side note to the difficulty in search for communities. I just learned this: Use the community search at something like lemmyverse.net and here is the important part, right click copy the URL to the community. Not the name@instance link. You want the https//name.domain/c/community link. Put that into your home instance ALL search. I now have 100% success.
All that paying does is prove you’ll pay whatever they want. Just like a blackmailer, it’s never enough. They always escalate in their attempts to extract “value”.
It’s the same damn story, time after time. “Oh, we put a few ads to cover expenses - it’ll be limited, we promise.” 3 months later: “We have a premium plan that hides ads.” Another 3 months: “We now have informational banners on premium for our own content. Since it’s our own, it’s totally not an ad!”
Then just: “Pay us a monthly rate and get served ads.”
Reminds me of Japan where the sink is often the tank of the toilet. When you flush, water comes out the faucet to refill the tank, and so you save water by using that to wash your hands.
Except, well… the Japanese idea makes much more sense I guess.
