MODERATORS
Kinda feel like know only do the instances (like lemmy.world) need to get some decent funding, but also the devs.
The instances need to pay for hardware or hosting, plus maybe admin work (obviously people will do it for love but cash is nice too), but as a fairly fledgling platform, there's also going to be some serious dev work needed to fix bugs, close exploits, improve efficiencies, and add features. Even the best host can be dead in the water if the underlying software has an unfixed exploit or lacks the features needed to maintain/optimize it. It's one of the reasons people flocked to 3rd-party Reddit clients, after all (because Reddit themselves couldn't be arsed to build up the tools themselves).
