In theory they could. Every city or state that migrates increases the market for open source solutions, and many also invest in the creation of custom software that others can later use when they migrate. The problem imo is hitting a critical mass, and also overcoming lobbyism at the highest levels.

That’s not how non-profit foundations work.

Just leaving this here: Aurora Store

Fix is on the way: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/1021

Afaik this is not an error from Lemmy but from nginx, which is not able to relay the request to Lemmy and therefore returns a 502 bad gateway response. Imo this just means the servers are over capacity, so most likely a scaling/infrastructure issue.

I had a quick read of the code and it looks pretty solid to me. Not the most “enterprise” code imaginable, but definitely no code smell or quick hacking job.
