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?

    I already donate regularly for websites that matter to me, so wouldn’t have a problem with donating to my favorite instances. Somehow I’m OK with semi-regular donations at my pace, but not with mandatory subscriptions. I’m just weird?

      No, I think that’s reasonable. It’s clear that not everyone would be able to contribute the same, so mandatory subs could never be fair.
