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?

$15/mo server rental, plus a few dollars to store backups on a separate service, object storage for media, email, and domain registration. Total $18.64
I have a home server that could easily handle it, but I wouldn’t want to put something so public on it.
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…
