Divide by zero (the instance I’m on) takes donations. People who donate get a nifty flair in the governance threads, but you don’t have to donate to vote on issues the server faces. (We also allow non-members to vote, though since they’re not as impacted by decisions made for the instance, their votes are given lower weights.)
And on that note, consider donating to the instance and/or the Lemmy devs (and any other open-source project you find useful). I also need to make a round of donations soon!
A question,
How when and where does the money come from to keep lemmy running?
Since nothing is free in life who pays for lemmy?

The server admins pay for it. Or people donate to the instance to keep it running

Varies between instances. sh.itjust.works, for example, is financed via donations.
