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?

Lemmy is going to be in the “let’s see how this works” period for a while
A lot of admins have patreon accounts set up for donations.
When you’re not looking to make a massive profit things get crazy affordable.
My instance has a thread for costings/donations, we’re months ahead.
Per person, it’s honestly crazy cheap.

Awesome, that’s the first actual number figure I’ve seen for hosting costs. Mind if I ask how many users that is? I’ve no concept of ‘how much is suitable’ - I realise that things will change as Lemmy scales, but I’ve no idea whether we’re talking a couple of quid a year per user at the moment, or per month, or what.
Interesting. What are the traffic / image storage demands for your instance?
