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?

        My browser is set to default to French (which I speak / am still learning) and to me it says

        supprimé par le modérateur

        so this one is real. A visual distinction could be nice, that might be a decent newcomer contribution to the codebase.
