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?

Our inscance's admins pay for the project out of their pocket and will be delaying accepting donations for as long as possible. Other instance adming accept donations though. There are also instances that accept donations and if they get too much money then they send the rest to the lemmy devs. I think that it's the https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/ that does it but i'm not 100% sure.
