If the reddit exodus happens and Lemmy gets even 2% of reddit’s daily active users, how will Lemmy sustain the increased traffic? I know donations are an option, but I don’t think long term donations will be sustainable. Most users will never donate.
I know the goal of Lemmy isn’t to make money, but I know that servers and storage costs add up quickly. Not to mention the development costs.
I would love to hear the plans for how to offset those costs in the future?
Oh that’s right. I remember seeing it at one point but immediately dismissing it because of the interface. I could see how that would apply to some, but I’m definitely more of a kbin/Calckey kind of guy.
