    To expand on the idea:

    Ideally this would incentivize devs who are hesitant about the cost of hosting to spin up a server, bringing us more instance options and helping to further decentralize the platform.

    Right now fedi relies on donations, and it seems to be working, but at some point the growth could outpace the donations leading to large instances shutting down. Rewards on Reddit are dumb as shit cause they feed an amoral corporation, but on Lemmy they would directly support those who are lending their time, money, and expertise to the growth of the fediverse.
