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?

I don't want "the same reddit experience," because the reddit experience sucks. That's why I'm here instead of caving in and using the official reddit app. I wouldn't mind some form of advertising, but annoying advertising I have to manually scroll past is how you get people to use ad-blockers and alternatives.

Edit: Like, I see sites change their backgrounds to ads, and that, to me, is perfectly fine because it doesn't affect my experience. Ads like that would be much nicer.
