This is true but aren’t the two main Lemmy devs paid to work on this full-time? That’s something at least, it’s better than being truly unpaid to work on this.

Devs do get donations but instances are not able to host advertisements. This means that if any hobbyists hosts a popular server instance they have to pay out of pocket to keep it going.

Instances could in principle run on ad revenue but I rather doubt that will happen given that enough users are willing to donate. Injecting some code into the frontend you serve isn’t rocket science.
