How does an instance of Lemmy, especially a larger one like lemmy.world pay for costs involved with running a Lemmy instance in a sustainable way? (lemmy.world)

I donate to them because i believe in the cause. Its $1 per month, so not like its breaking the bank. But if every user donated the same, they would have more than enough to cover the bills

Could you share a link? I've been trying to find a way to donate

See the heart button up top in the web client.

That's to support the Lemmy software but I'm looking to donate to the Lemmy.world instance

Charge USD0.50 for every swear word posted or the reply won't appear.

This..... is actually a pretty fucking good idea.

Make it $.01 and you might actually have a good idea on your hands. Big enough to matter given the thousands of users, small enough for the average user not to care.

The hard part is running a secure and private payment system on top of this.

Bitcoin lightning network has entered the chat

Feels like sarcasm, but I can't tell.

Nope. I'm no expert, but lightning network fees get down to something like $0.0003 and transactions are instant, it would be great for this sort of thing.
