A growing number of prefectures have stopped posting disaster warnings on the platform due to limits on the number of free posts allowed.

Well, all you have to do is convince the public to pay for it. Easy, peasy....

Agreed - any competent municipal IT dept. can set up an instance without breaking a sweat - set up a VM, install your OS of choice, install Lemmy & its stack, set up the DB, register the domain, find some interns to moderate & do scut work. Not completely trivial, but within modest means.
