Under what conditions would you be OK with ads on your lemmy instance?

I’ll start:

  • Some significant portion of funds go towards development of the Lemmy software. 80%? Rest goes to lemmy instance hosting.
  • Ads are reasonable and non-intrusive (no popups etc)
  • People can still browse w/ an adblocker

I personally would gladly turn off my adblocker if I knew the ads were supporting development. Hell, I might even click a few!

NO ADS! These platforms were created so that you won’t see any ads ever. If you want to support the instances or platforms, you can make a donation via Patreon/ BuyMeACoffee or what they use. Here is a list of links for some platforms:

Nah. I don’t plan to ever have ads. Hardly any users so my nice little single server will be fine for years to come and I can afford it no problem. If somehow I got a lot of users, I’d likely just close registration rather than ads. I hate ads!
