Just curious as this is all fun and open till it scales to expensive. What is the lemmy.ca plan to sustain / fund it self?

Constant donation nagging like Wikipedia?

    Is there a document or post outlining how much an instance owner would be required to pay based on instance traffic?

      yeah, that’s tough to say. on this instance, since I’ve moved to a new host (about 17 days ago), we’re at almost 1TB of traffic, if that helps at all?

      Unlikely; every time a new version comes out, the data:traffic ratio will change.

      For instance, they’re currently working to replace websockets. When that’s done, it should decrease data use while increasing responsiveness.
