Are there any paid services for either Lemmy or Mastodon? Something where, given it is a subscription service, you would expect them to stick around long-term?

I use free, donation and paid services happily. Not against any model.

I do not think paid services are as stable as you are imagining. Lots of paid services go dark all the time. Even major ones.

I think the most stable would be to either run your own or pay someone to run one for you on a VPS. And for community stability, donate to various servers.

For long term, government/nonprofit funding would be good to have I think.
