    Lemmy is not free. The user community funds the developers of Lemmy by direct donations. As for us, aussie.zone costs a little over $100/month to run. Our own generous users fund us.

    While we don’t need to advertise to fund lemmy, be assured that someone somewhere is paying for it.

      Lemmy is free, you can download it and host it yourself. Server costs are irrelevant to the software being free.

      What’s next FOSS isn’t FOSS because I have to pay electricity to power my computer?

        Unless you host shitjusworks, you’re not doing that.

        In any case, I hope you’re donating to the developers who create Lemmy. Oh, wait. That would make it not free too.
