I don’t think he even consider people not right around him his employees.

You can’t. If you are on beehaw you need a beehaw account to respond.

But why do you need to be on beehaw? Is the community you want to look at not available to lemmy.world?

Don’t underestimate them. They do hold the most number of patents in solid state battery. They weren’t exactly sitting idle over the past few decades.

Haven’t done it myself, just missing a lot of the knowledge, but suspect just a regular PC is enough if you are hosting for a small group of people. I was thinking to just build an instance for myself to sub other communities.

Oh no you will be completely fine. Each instance is a different server. They practically encourage people to go to various instances to decrease the load on popular instances. Like, if you are good with this you might as well set up your own instance. It is the same set of communities you get access to anyway.

Is this a beehaw thing? Try a different instance?
