How is Lemmy going to make money? - Lemmy
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?
Jesus this got massdownvoted by Lemmy tankies! xD Luckily there isn't the same impact on Kbin when viewing this post.
Down voted because if the code is good, then you can fork it if the maintainers really get out of hand. I'm very opposed to the CCP personally.
From the information in the OG reply it seems pretty out of hand to me though, which makes the switch to Kbin that much easier as it's just plain better, and have full functionality to interact with microblogs. If Lemmy was the only one it would makes sense to fork it if needed, but now we have like 3 reddit-like fediverse platforms.
It is called lotide. You can read about it here
https://sr.ht/~vpzom/lotide/ , I guess there is also a 4th one called prismo, but the developer put down their project for various reasons, so i don't count it in.
