MODERATORS
Are you referring to the Lemmy project or the Lemmy.world instance? Because Lemmy has two paid devs, and had two a while.
Who is paying them?
Lemmy 2023-10-31 news post, section Funding Drive:
There seem to be considerable recurring donations now too. (Donations page, section Sponsors.)
If you mean "considerable" as in barely above minimum wage, sure... it's either a job or a hobby and if it is a job you need to compare it with what they could earn as software developers elsewhere.
Multiple hundreds is considerable to me and beyond "hobby". It doesn't have to be a full time job or fairly compensated to be more than a hobby.
1.5 k has to be considered in my eyes. It's not negligible or marginal as donations. (Note I labeled donations considerable, not their income - which I don't know. My point was that it's worth mentioning.)
