Its not a secret that no ads on lemmy, which makes the process more difficult paying for hosting to keep your instance only, so tell me!

How do you fund your lemmy instance? do you sell products through lemmy? Donations? how you convince people to donate to your instance? Do you sell subscriptions? how?

    I just pay for a dedicated server because I like hosting stuff so that’s more of a hobby. Hosting lemmy on that server doesn’t cost me more.

      Is it ok to share with us the size of your instance and your server resources? i’m interested to know what makes you go with dedicated server, i believe your instance is busy?

        In fact I got a dedicated server because I wanted to do virtualization for more flexibility, otherwise a VPS would have been perfect.

        I am alone on my lemmy instance, don’t have many friends into this kind of application they are more into the other stuff I host: matrix, nextcloud, mumble, …

        Sharing my server resources would not be of any use since they are way overkill for what I’m doing :)
