That and right now Lemmy probably needs development that benefits the whole community way more than individual servers. The network can't work of we hit hard scalability issues, but individual instances can come and go to fill the gaps. Global improvement to the server software can result in instances getting much cheaper to run with optimizations too.
Agreed. But- what also helps a lot- is others pitching in development time to assist the project.
One thing that can also help dramatically- Is posting bounties on specific features.
Say- lots of users want.... a certain feature. Well- github allows posting bounties for things such as that. So- that would entice other developers to work on said features too.
