How are we going to pay for all this?

3 years ago by psylancer to c/asklemmy

I'm really enjoying lemmy. I think we've got some growing pains in UI/UX and we're missing some key features (like community migration and actual redundancy). But how are we going to collectively pay for this? I saw an (unverified) post that Reddit received 400M dollars from ads last year. Lemmy isn't going to be free. Can someone with actual server experience chime in with some back of the napkin math on how expensive it would be if everyone migrated from Reddit?

I composed that comment in another thread, tabbed away, and when I tabbed back the pending comment was pasted into this thread that I wasn't even reading. Hit POST before I noticed it. 2nd time that's happened this morning.
