Who is hosting lemmy.world?
I know anyone can spin up an instance. So who is hosting lemmy.world, and how much are they paying for hosting? If this is going to replace r-word someday, it will need a lot of resources and money to keep it running.

Thanks! I read it just now, so one person is paying for hosting. Where is the money coming from, we can't expect them to keep renting a dedicated VPS forever.
They have a bunch of donation sites set up so you can contribute if you like. Links can be found in their April/May financial report post.

Just to add, to anyone who has the ability, please donate to your instance owners when you can. There's no big corpo backing them/us here, so we're really in this together now.
