Who will pay for lemmy?
First post, honest question.
Who will pay for lemmy? There were a few sites that started sometime back because they were fed up with something about reddit but eventually they all crashed because they had no funds. How will lemmy be different?
You're viewing a single thread.
In the case of this instance (lemmy.fmhy.ml) it appears to be self funded by the admins
Q: Can I donate?
A: We appreciate that people want to support us, but we never have and never will accept donations. We maintain this project because its fun and we want to help others, not make money.

However currently for others instances donations seem to be the primary method of funding (beehaw has a nice cost breakdown)

"self funded" is a bit wrong since the lemmy server is literally free, but yes, everything we host is self funded. we will never ever EVER make freemediaheckyeah a paid service.
Thanks for posting this
