Some instances are able to generate donations to cover costs.
The mastodon instance I use (sfba.social) currently has enough donations to last 8 months. I donate $3 per month.
The Lemmy instance I use (lemmy. world) already has a Mastodon instance with enough donations to cover both. Once they separate funds I will donate to them as well.
TL;DR - Satisfied users donate towards costs.
I wonder if it might be a good idea to let people link their Lemmy account with whatever platform they're donating through, so they get a little badge on their posts and comments showing that they're a contributor.
