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?

    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.
