Reddit was profitless and largely ran by volunteers for free for over a decade. I believe we can do it again.
I do agree, but it's also had ads for a very long time.
Wouldn’t be surprised if major Lemmy instances started showing ads to sustain their own servers. It sucks, but hosting costs money and donations aren’t all that reliable.
