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?

    No different than when voat went down or when Reddit goes down eventually. The goal is though that by having no big central point of failure it’s not as big of a deal. Not like you’d have to get used to a whole new kind of thing, just move to another instance.
