Lemmy is like a public library of the internet: it's one of the few places where you can exist without the expectation of paying either through watching ads or through direct payments (lemmy.ml)

Well, if you want your instance to stay up you should expect to pitch in for operating costs...

I donate 12€ a year through OpenCollective. Donate here!. That's 12€ more than any other social media site has ever gotten out of me. Donations also support mastodon.world.

If everyone donated 12€ a year then they'd be so flush with cash that it'd make the Wikimedia Foundation look broke.

I ensure my instance stays up, by running my own :)
