What constitutes Usage Data. Is it sharing the posts I view, communities I subscribe to etc?

Does paying for a premium version stop this data being collected?

    The reddit gold model didn’t work. Reddit was a VC funded start up though, so if was expected to make a lot more than just enough to keep the servers going.

    I’d bet lemmy instances can get by on donations and reddit style awards. Like you say, it can be incentivized further with cosmetic rewards.

      I don’t really think gilding works with federation. Another issue is that cosmetics would need to be implemented by the majority of 3rd party apps. I take back what I said before, I’m not sure what a good way to fund instances would be.
