The problem is both the devs and instances need donations. Just saw a post one instances bills are $2300 a month. No on is going to pay that out of pocket.
Oh boy, the last time I heard about finances (a month ago) it was all well below $100. Lemmy.ml only costed something like €10 a month.
Yeah it's better to keep instance size within your budget.
But with so many users on Lemmy.world, donations could maybe work. Problem is that it's not a fixed income, but the bills are fixed every month.
