How is Lemmy going to make money? (lemmy.ml)

If the reddit exodus happens and Lemmy gets even 2% of reddit's daily active users, how will Lemmy sustain the increased traffic? I know donations are an option, but I don't think long term donations will be sustainable. Most users will never donate.

I know the goal of Lemmy isn't to make money, but I know that servers and storage costs add up quickly. Not to mention the development costs.

I would love to hear the plans for how to offset those costs in the future?

My prior comment was moderated out of the thread silently?

I still see it no problem. Does have a negative net in votes though

It has been downvoted to the bottom. Divisive behaviour is discouraged. I love it. :-)
kbin might still be good, though.
