How will lemmy sustain itself? (lemmy.ml)

As more and more people migrate to lemmy from reddit (just like i did), how will lemmy adapt to the people coming in and the cost incurred for hosting it. I imagine as more people start posting stuff just like they do on reddit, the cost on the server will increase. And as lemmy doesnt have any ads or tracking or anything of that sort, how will it cope up with this?

I mean the more people that join, the more people that donate. Reddit never got a cent from me directly, but I donated to beehaw when I made my account, and I plan to do it again, as this is just a small (but getting bigger) community, not a company trying to make a profit. They definitely won't be rolling in money but I think they'll be able to make it(and I certainly hope so)
