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?

    Please make mod tools a top priority. It’s absolutely asinine that I need to have someone comment in a community to add them as a mod.

          Lemmy is not a company, it’s built by volunteers. If you want a corporate platform go to Reddit.

              Ah and here comes the toxicity along with the reddit flood.

                My browser is set to default to French (which I speak / am still learning) and to me it says

                supprimé par le modérateur

                so this one is real. A visual distinction could be nice, that might be a decent newcomer contribution to the codebase.

          Bud, this is like going to someone’s house for a party and complaining that they don’t have your favorite beer. How about you go for a beer run?

              I didn’t say anything was in a great state. I just said this software is like a party, no one’s here to serve you. You aren’t going to be catered-to because your eyeballs are worth selling. So if you want it to happen, help out. That’s how it works.

              we just think you’re a prick, this isnt about what you’re saying, it’s about how you’re saying it
