I’m wondering if Lemmy (and maybe the fediverse generally) has the potential to offer incoming Reddit mods something Reddit can’t: compensation.
Obviously it won’t be huge, but I feel like there’s a greater chance that a Lemmy user will make at least small one-off or even regular donations to help keep their communities and/or instances running.
Like if I’m running a server, voluntarily paying $50/month as, say, the mod of a 20M+ user subreddit might, even if 20 users contribute $2.5, that’s a full month’s worth of server time paid for.
As I say, the scale would be quite low, but wonder if it could be an interesting idea to try out, even if just as a proof-of-concept.
