Paid Servers? (lemm.ee)
submitted 1 year ago by vamp07@lemm.ee to c/fediverse@lemmy.world

Are there any paid services for either Lemmy or Mastodon? Something where, given it is a subscription service, you would expect them to stick around long-term?

You don't need a subscription for instances to stay around long term - you need to use them. Instances without users shut down, naturally.

Instance owners don't do this to get rich or have someone else pay the bills I believe. They just want users.

And I think many of us hate subscriptions. :)

I understand, and for the most part, I agree, but I would still like to find a paid instance.

For what purpose? Why not a free one? I mean, if the price is right I'll host you one.

I've been considering hosting one myself, this would give me a push in that direction.
