How does an instance of Lemmy, especially a larger one like lemmy.world pay for costs involved with running a Lemmy instance in a sustainable way? (lemmy.world)

This..... is actually a pretty fucking good idea.

Make it $.01 and you might actually have a good idea on your hands. Big enough to matter given the thousands of users, small enough for the average user not to care.

The hard part is running a secure and private payment system on top of this.

Nope. I'm no expert, but lightning network fees get down to something like $0.0003 and transactions are instant, it would be great for this sort of thing.
