I’m wondering how are all those different Lemmy instances financed? I know some rely on donations, but is that all and is that sustainable?

The costs surprises me, too…
I think, I red about the hosting situation of the German feddit.de (probably the 4th largest lemmy instance) and that they don’t take donations, because it’s “not that expensive”…
But thanks for being transparent…
If you’ve already got the infrastructure in place for other projects, it can drop costs dramatically. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone there was already doing a lot of web hosting and just threw this in their stack. There are also a number of housing companies that will cut great deals for non profits if they’re at up right.
