I know there’s donations and the owners can use their own money, but there’s a limit. I doubt a platform with hundreds of thousands of daily users can survive with only donations.

    It’s super cheap. A lot of us nerds have very good incomes and can pay for an instance that has like 20 TB of network traffic for less than 10 dollars per month.

    It’s our way to try and contribute to the growth of Lemmy and also it’s fun to run our own instance.

    Edit: Corrected network bandwidth amount.
