They all look the same to me, and I can communicate with other Lemmy users so what’s the point? (I don’t know anything about Lemmy lol I just joined)

    I think (don’t quote me on this, because I’m not sure) that the license agreement for kbin/Lemmy instances specifically forbids advertising. Then again, maybe I’m remembering an incorrect remark that some doofus made. I don’t know.

      It actually completely allows it as it is AGPL. The only condition is that you need to release the source code to any users of the service.

      In practice it’s hard to keep advertising working while allowing third party applications.
