I don't see why an instance couldn't go with ads and subs or awards the same way Reddit does.

Because they'd probably have to create that tech themselves. Not that they won't but it's not there ATM afaik

Id go ahead and open a feature request for it on their github. Id be supprised if they wernt open towards the idea given they run one of the largest instances themselves
