    As far as I understand it currently people host their own Lemmy instances just for the hell of it or out of the goodness of their heart

    But the larger instances will end up costing more money and I’m doubtful that will be sustainable with no income

      Alot of the larger instances have user donations set up so that the servers can be maintained, this is how lemmy.world works
