I’m really enjoying lemmy. I think we’ve got some growing pains in UI/UX and we’re missing some key features (like community migration and actual redundancy). But how are we going to collectively pay for this? I saw an (unverified) post that Reddit received 400M dollars from ads last year. Lemmy isn’t going to be free. Can someone with actual server experience chime in with some back of the napkin math on how expensive it would be if everyone migrated from Reddit?
Maybe this depends on the country by you don’t need to set up companies if you can run everything you need under self-employement. The main reason to avoid that is avoiding liability, gaining credibility or to qualify for loans or something along those lines none of which is required in this case.
