Just made requested account on pornlemmy, I will promptly delete after reading that you'd be willing to sell to advertisers
Yes, that's what happens when users don't support the platform. With Lemmy, there's an unspoken convention that admins make their site available to users with the same stability and performance as the big names but without any of the bad parts like tracking or ads, and the users donate to keep it that way. The PornLemmy team has done its part, but out of the 300,000 users only a single digit have shown support, so it is a you reap what you sow situation.
Unpopular opinion: Lemmy instances like this one should have ads.
Its not a secret that Foss more often than not won't pay the bills, if that's what you want then you need a product with a different licence, also your instance is centred around porn on a decentralised platform, you'd had a better chance for funding with a more generic instance.
Hopefully a porn company will pick this up from you.
