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?
Contributions welcome.
One problem with that smart ass reply - I don’t know how to code in Rust/TypeScript as I’m sure many of the users here are in the same boat. How about you add basic QoL features before launching?
Lemmy is not a company, it’s built by volunteers. If you want a corporate platform go to Reddit.

As you wish.

Ah and here comes the toxicity along with the reddit flood.
For real, I’m back today after a couple of days and there are so many removed comments. Why can’t we have nice things, people? *groans*
I honestly can’t tell if

was removed by mod, or just an italicized removed by mod.
My browser is set to default to French (which I speak / am still learning) and to me it says
so this one is real. A visual distinction could be nice, that might be a decent newcomer contribution to the codebase.
@nutomic @dessalines good user feedback here.
I’m not sure if that actually tagged them… you might need to append

Bud, this is like going to someone’s house for a party and complaining that they don’t have your favorite beer. How about you go for a beer run?

I didn’t say anything was in a great state. I just said this software is like a party, no one’s here to serve you. You aren’t going to be catered-to because your eyeballs are worth selling. So if you want it to happen, help out. That’s how it works.
