Reddit migrator here (shocking, I know)
Just wondering because I found out about all this yesterday and just realized the ammount of independent servers, but no sign of any ads or sponsors. So… is it all based on donations?
Also don’t just lurk, if you know you should answer because lemmy only counts users who posted or commented as active users.
I think part of a system like the fediverse is that it only needs to annoy one person enough that they go get the code and make an ad free clone. Then people could just migrate over. Especially once we have beeter tool to be able to move accounts across instances
