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?

One thing to take note is that the idea to have many smaller instances so the userbase is broken up and doesnt reside on just one instance. So, it's relatively cheaper to host and maintain instances.
