As more and more people migrate to lemmy from reddit (just like i did), how will lemmy adapt to the people coming in and the cost incurred for hosting it. I imagine as more people start posting stuff just like they do on reddit, the cost on the server will increase. And as lemmy doesnt have any ads or tracking or anything of that sort, how will it cope up with this?

And so will people who care about their server and want to keep it going :)

It may happen that the computational power required to run Lemmy increases superlinearly in the number of users. Then the amount that each user needs to donate would increase as well. But I’d expect if every user donates a euro a year, then server costs should be covered in any case.
