How will lemmy instances survive if they get too big? (lemmy.world)

I know there's donations and the owners can use their own money, but there's a limit. I doubt a platform with hundreds of thousands of daily users can survive with only donations.

When you say groups that is communities in lemmy terms? ^^ Not fluent in the terminology but with a functionality like this how would you receive older posts? Seems like newer linked instances would start with a blank slate from the point of "bounding".

Or am I just butchering the meaning with my understanding? hehe

Yes that's right, Lemmy communities are communicated as groups in ActivityPub, so that FEP would be applicable to communities
