Excited to get off reddit, excited to see lemmy grow; growth is expensive. How is this getting paid for? - eviltoast

Curious how lemmy servers are paid for. Is it donation?

    Can’t remember the exact figure, but they calculate on each user bringing in like $0.5 every three months or so. That’s how the Apollo creater came to the conclusion of them marking up their API prices by a 1000% or similar. So the cost of each user should not be much higher than that.

    It basically comes down to being greedy and really wanting to get rid of 3rd party apps.
