Yeah, had to move back to this instance because of that. I think that just shows how hard it is and how much funding it actually requires.
My understanding is in the case of lemm.ee they were getting enough donations to cover the technical operating costs, but they did not have enough high-quality volunteers for admins (and presumably not enough money to pay admins. It would require a lot of money to pay fairly for that work).
