If the reddit exodus happens and Lemmy gets even 2% of reddit’s daily active users, how will Lemmy sustain the increased traffic? I know donations are an option, but I don’t think long term donations will be sustainable. Most users will never donate.
I know the goal of Lemmy isn’t to make money, but I know that servers and storage costs add up quickly. Not to mention the development costs.
I would love to hear the plans for how to offset those costs in the future?
Yeah, that is one thing to consider, but kbin is much newer than Lemmy, so has some things to work out still. But that said I’ve had no problems with it so far.
edit Forgot to mention, instances are mentioned on the official website.
