How does an instance of Lemmy, especially a larger one like lemmy.world pay for costs involved with running a Lemmy instance in a sustainable way?

    I donate to them because i believe in the cause. Its $1 per month, so not like its breaking the bank. But if every user donated the same, they would have more than enough to cover the bills

      I used to pay a dollar a month to Apollo. I’m happy to donate it to a Lemmy instance.

          All that idiot had to do was monetize 3rd party apps by expanding the API to allow for the purchase of coins/awards in return for something like a 5% cut going to the devs. Too late now though, we’re all in a vastly superior social media site.

            Mastodon is similar to Twitter, while Lemmy is similar to Reddit.
