I’m fairly new and don’t 100% understand it yet, but instances are run on servers that require money. Are we heading towards seeing ads or subscriptions to raise funds instead of relying on donations to cover overhead?...
This is a great question. To add to this, what happens if/when/eventually there’s enough users to warrant big players (celebs/fortune 500) wanting to dip their toes into Lemmyverse? I don’t see this happening soon, but with enough growth, SOMEONE is going to want to reach this audience right? It’ll start slow but if the trend continues, it’s inevitable. Which is ok I think. The way I imagine it, celebs might have their own preferred curated/verified Lemmy instance. Maybe they’ll use affiliate links for merch and promos?

So how long until the Fediverse is monetized?
