Just curious as this is all fun and open till it scales to expensive. What is the lemmy.ca plan to sustain / fund it self?

Constant donation nagging like Wikipedia?

So to further my consern it looks like I am right and that load from other servers is already crushing some servers and forcing them to disconnect / de federate. https://lemmy.ca/post/681826

Scaling of the platform and the servers WILL be an issue. It sounds like the more external servers users here subscribe to, the more LOAD there will be on THIS instance, especially if those external subscriptions are high traffic.
