yes, donations is my current plan.
someone mentioned in a different thread to contact CIRA and see if they will help like they did with mstdn.ca. I haven't yet looked into that yet.
Is there a document or post outlining how much an instance owner would be required to pay based on instance traffic?
yeah, that's tough to say. on this instance, since I've moved to a new host (about 17 days ago), we're at almost 1TB of traffic, if that helps at all?
Unlikely; every time a new version comes out, the data:traffic ratio will change.
For instance, they’re currently working to replace websockets. When that’s done, it should decrease data use while increasing responsiveness.
When the donations run out can we just put up ads? It would be the same reddit experience, but without the autocratic company trying to squeeze the money out of it.
I don't want "the same reddit experience," because the reddit experience sucks. That's why I'm here instead of caving in and using the official reddit app. I wouldn't mind some form of advertising, but annoying advertising I have to manually scroll past is how you get people to use ad-blockers and alternatives.
Edit: Like, I see sites change their backgrounds to ads, and that, to me, is perfectly fine because it doesn't affect my experience. Ads like that would be much nicer.
there's no built in way to add ads in lemmy, even if I wanted to, and I highly doubt the devs would ever add that as a feature (just a guess).
Product placement/sponsorships.
The great thing about Lemmy though is you can just go to another instance.
