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?

Lemmy is not a company, it’s built by volunteers. If you want a corporate platform go to Reddit.

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

supprimé par le modérateur

so this one is real. A visual distinction could be nice, that might be a decent newcomer contribution to the codebase.
