Its in their FAQ

But how do/will you make money?

We are not prepared to begin charging for usage of Anytype while the app is still in beta, and we rely on our community not to take advantage of the free storage that’s currently offered.

When we do begin to charge, our principles are as follows:

Users should be charged only for the resources they consume. That means that in the short term, we will charge for paid backups of spaces above a certain storage limit. This limit has not been determined, as we still need to understand the true load and cost of hosting spaces on our infrastructure.

In the medium term, our goal is to evolve from an app into a digital cooperative in which you can pay to become a member. Membership comes with benefits such as the ability to publish objects and spaces under a name of your choosing, discoverability in the Any ecosystem, and the right to participate in the earnings of the cooperative based on your contributions.

This is still unclear for me to understand how sync works, because if it does not suit me, mo way I would be using it.

For example I mostly type on mobile, then when I open my laptop, the app will try to sync between my phone and my laptop, with their server helping establishing the connection? I don’t see how its gonna work well since both has to be online and have good Internet at the same time

Very nice write-up. Was it fast for you to use? Notion has gotten quite slow for me on mobile

I still do not understand how their sync work, based on their description:

synced in your local p2p network

Can someone please explain this to me?

Their FAQ is pretty good , but it still does not answer that question

Meta started working with ActivityPub working group already

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swicg/2023Jul/0032.html

the admins are known to be Uyghur genocide deniers and pro-North-Korea

Do you have a link for this? I want to read it. I picked lemmy.ml because it was used by Memmy app community, has decent userbase, and they block threads.net. This is the description on https://join-lemmy.org/instances : “A community of privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, run by Lemmy’s developers”

my understanding from Lemmy.world’s post was “guys, we’re years away from it if it ever happens, maybe we should chill until we learn more?”

Did they post their official’s stance on it? All I saw was a post by ruud, the instance owner on Mastodon

As I explained in another comment, if they don’t block a server, they are federating with it. Meta could be testing as we speak

According to Lemmy documentation, if they don’t block a server, it means they are federating (aka talking using ActivityPub protocol) with that server.

Lemmy has three types of federation:

• Allowlist: Explicitly list instances to connect to.
• BlockList: Explicitly list instances to not connect to. Federation is open to all other instances.
• Open: Federate with all potential instances.

Federation is enabled by default.

It means Meta could in theory talking right now with instances not blocking them as part of their testing.

I don’t know why they could not just block in the first place, then unblock/allow later if it makes sense.

This is the answer I was looking for. You mentioned a couple of very interesting points and they are well articulated.

Do you post anywhere that I can follow?

Sorry I asked the wrong question. I’ve updated it. My question should have been specific to Threads federation. You can see my clarifie point of view in another comment

Would this change your answer

You made me realise I asked the wrong question. It’s all about Threads. I updated the title and my question. Thank you

As seen on my other comments, I want Lemmy to grow so we can have diverse communities and diverse viewpoints. Why would Threads users join Lemmy if they can just subscribe to instances federating with them. That is why I don’t want to post on instances federating with Threads anymore

I also don’t want Threads to benefit from my posts/comments

Would you still post to lemmy.world or you would create another community on lemmy.ml where Threads is blocked, if you were in my case?

They will federate with Threads. If I continue posting on lemmy.world, Threads will benefit from it and Threads users would never join Lemmy because they could subscribe to our communities. But I also don’t want to split my niche communities

What if I don’t want to post on lemmy.world anymore, because I don’t want Threads to benefit from my posts/comments.

I want people to come to Lemmy for its contents. Why would Threads users join Lemmy if they can subscribe to our communities instead?

I thought I made my question clear

Should I continue contributing to my niche communities on Instances I do not share my view with, or build similar communities on other Instances?

For example runeterra community only exists on lemmy.world, but I don’t want to post on lemmy.world anymore, because I don’t want Threads to benefit from my posts/comments. I want people to come to Lemmy.

Should I create a new runeterra community lemmy.ml instead (lemmy.ml blocks Threads)? What would you do?
