Just curious as this is all fun and open till it scales to expensive. What is the lemmy.ca plan to sustain / fund it self?

Constant donation nagging like Wikipedia?

yes, donations is my current plan.

someone mentioned in a different thread to contact CIRA and see if they will help like they did with mstdn.ca. I haven't yet looked into that yet.

Is there a document or post outlining how much an instance owner would be required to pay based on instance traffic?

[–] smorks@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

yeah, that's tough to say. on this instance, since I've moved to a new host (about 17 days ago), we're at almost 1TB of traffic, if that helps at all?

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Unlikely; every time a new version comes out, the data:traffic ratio will change.

For instance, they’re currently working to replace websockets. When that’s done, it should decrease data use while increasing responsiveness.
