Hi. I’m new to Lemmy. Here’s what I’m wondering. How Lemmy servers are paid. If the person who opens the server no longer wants to pay this fee, the server has to shut down. How is this issue resolved?

    If high fees have to be paid, community donation systems should be established. It would be nice to see what percentage of the next month’s server expenses could be covered in this system. In this way, everyone supports in line with their financial power.

      World has some Patreon links in the sidebar. So does Dessalines over on lemmy.ml personally I’ve signed up for both, I want to help however I can, and I certainly can’t code so I may as well buy these guys lunch/server space

      Thats what beehaw is doing. afaik they have enough money for a year of server storage, assuming unexpected events do not happen of course.
