As far as I understand it currently people host their own Lemmy instances just for the hell of it or out of the goodness of their heart

But the larger instances will end up costing more money and I'm doubtful that will be sustainable with no income

Crazy-ish idea, but maybe Lemmy could make a feature where instances can have custom awards similar to Reddit gold and stuff, and users can buy them to both award posts they like and financially support the instance host

Hope not, trophies and award whoring is just as bad as karma whoring and neither is a thing here and lemmy is better off because of it.

Yeah I’d kinda rather stick to donations tbh
