Lemmy has gotten quite a bit of money in grants. It's safe to say that without the grants allowing the lemmy devs to work on it full time, it wouldn't be as functional as it is now. Getting grants really isn't easy and that shouldn't be the barrier to whether or not you can be compensated for your work.
