I’m fairly new and don’t 100% understand it yet, but instances are run on servers that require money. Are we heading towards seeing ads or subscriptions to raise funds instead of relying on donations to cover overhead?

Especially with the influx of new users. Hardware upgrades are needed.

    I’m lazy. Checkmate!

    For real though, lots of money is a great motivator.

      Yes, which is why you should pick your server with care. If you do not pick one that suits your desires, that is on you.

      This will not be as effortless as reddit any time soon, so if that is your goal, you may prefer it over there.

        Nope, no way I’m going back. However, I’m still fairly new so I haven’t really “researched” which instances I should be joining. Except for lemmynsfw…for obvious reasons. LOL
