First post, honest question.

Who will pay for lemmy? There were a few sites that started sometime back because they were fed up with something about reddit but eventually they all crashed because they had no funds. How will lemmy be different?

They are funded by a foundation, NLnet. AFAIK they set certain development goals together and the devs are paid when those are reached.
