How does Pixelfed makes money?

  Looks like Patreon if you read the web site. And Liberapay, I guess. It’s an open source “host your own” software, I don’t think they are trying to monetize beyond paying a living wage for the developer.

  It is not a company, but a federated network – anyone can run their own server and interact with the all other nodes (much like email). The software is open source and is a community effort, although the lead developer got a grant [1] that allows him to spend time to improve the project over time. 1: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed#pixelfed-sponsors https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed#pixelfed-sponsors
