Who will pay for lemmy? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

First post, honest question.

Who will pay for lemmy? There were a few sites that started sometime back because they were fed up with something about reddit but eventually they all crashed because they had no funds. How will lemmy be different?

I'd be down to fund a patreon for the core developers who work on the lemmy framework so long as that money goes to developing tools that would enhance everybody's experience like better modding tools that were lacking in reddit or accessibility features that tended to be found in particular client apps of reddit or plugins than in the site itself.
