There are a few companies making money from FOSS.
The two business models I see the most that seem to work:
- free software, paid support
- free software, paid hosting/ “SaaS”

Ok, thanks, so as long as the same instances are federated everything is fine, afterwards I might not see some posts. Got it.
Then it should be quite easy. Did you post the request to GitHub?
Is the instance hosting the community contained in the URL? Then it should be easy to implement, otherwise it’s probably much more complicated.
I think Lemmy’s solution is better, but still not perfect. I can subscribe to communities of other instances from my own instance, but only if either a) I know the exact name and search for it, or b) someone else did before me.
Just for completeness: You can search with the “menu” icon in the bottom bar. Not all communities are federated yet, so you need to search for others on https://browse.feddit.de first and then search the exact full name of the community in your instance (didn’t work in the Jerboa search for me)
By exact I mean e.g. !indiehackers@lemmy.world (including the !)
What do you mean by compact mode? You can change the post layout in the settings, if that’s what you mean.
Would ads go against the fediverse principles? There could also be a federated ad network. Where you can choose what kinds of ads you want on your instance and thus content could be monetized.
I get what you’re saying, but you can already get this with a little more work. Clone + Push to other self-hosted git server instance, e.g. Gitea.
But having an overview of publicly available Giteas where you can register and cross-instance fork more easily would be nice.
Is this also possible for Lemmy? Would be nice to get Lemmy community posts3in RSS feeds
