Nah, this is global capitalism blindly moving goods across the planet as quickly and cheaply as possible so all the diseases are spreading thing.
Not just early YouTube, it feels like early 2000s Internet in general.
The biggest difference is that by around the late 90s when self hosting and learning HTML became accessible to normies, there was already a shitload of content online. Lemmy kind of has that backward, which is part of the slower growth pattern.
There are no “the Lemmy servers”, since there is no central “Lemmy” organization to host and run such servers.
So yeah, you can run it on whatever you can find that has available disk space, CPU cycles, and an Internet connection. Hosted VPS, colocated hardware server, raspberry pi, your gaming rig, AWS containers, whatever.
