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.

    How difficult is it running your own instance. I’m very interested in that.

      Depends on your user count and post frequency. Images take a lot of space and space is still not cheap on cloud.
