No. If the project is interesting enough for people spending their time developing and using it there will always be running Lemmy instances. The need for funding over the amount people are willing to dedicate to a hobby project is the death of a project like this.
I don’t see a “we” in this, follow the free software way: Don’t like it? Fork it yourself or don’t use it.
