As more and more people migrate to lemmy from reddit (just like i did), how will lemmy adapt to the people coming in and the cost incurred for hosting it. I imagine as more people start posting stuff just like they do on reddit, the cost on the server will increase. And as lemmy doesnt have any ads or tracking or anything of that sort, how will it cope up with this?
I think donations can be sustainable considering wikipedia has done it for over a decade. People genuinely care about this fediverse project and donating a few dollars a month will probably keep this place growing and healthy. I also think we are too quick to predict the end of reddit. Millions will still use it while this place will remain almost unheard of to the average person for at least the next few years.
Donations. Click on the heart on the top bar to support Lemmy development and lemmy.ml hosting. Other instances have their own donation boxes
Donation might cover up things, but the demand will only keep increasing as instances get big(?)
And so will people who care about their server and want to keep it going :)
