@asklemmy How could users Monitise themselves on the Fediverse?
As people possibly move across to the Fediverse to find alternatives, we have to question how people are going to make a living on this amazing platform.
Can it be fully run by donations or is there a better way for people to be paid across the Fediverse?

Lol...you say this as if people have been marketing it to Creators.
I'm here because Reddit is junk now. I don't follow any "creators", and I rarely leave Lemmy for external content unless I really need to open an article or something.
Creators often have Subreddits and places people want to interact with.
I was more talking about things like PeerTube and the upcoming @loops what is a TikTok Alternative for the Fediverse.
If I were to create content, my reasons to choose the Fediverse over other social platforms would remain the same. I believe in this project! I think it is important to have free spaces, people's spaces.
I'd add a Patreon link (or an alternative to Patreon) for donations. That's it. Some money to compensate for the effort is okay, I don't need and I wouldn't aspire to get super rich from my content.
Yeah, I think that's the conclusion we have come to. Donations are what makes the Fediverse great, I guess it just might be nice to make it easier to display / click on in the future.
