Would really love to add my forum to the fediverse but I’m a bit skeptical about somethings (zyke.social)

I built Zyke: Discussion Forum, a discussion forum & social news aggregator like Reddit. Loads fast, moderation is transparent, has user mentions (@), hashtags (#), a democratic voting system and a modern rich text editor.

But how do I monetize without running ads? That’s why I’m skeptical about adding Zyke to the fediverse. The community dislikes products with ads, so it feels like a bad idea to me. I don’t even intend to put pop up ads, just clean banner adverts

If you mean "how do I monetize to keep services afloat", open donation channels, like Patreon, Ko-fi, direct donations like the American Zelle or the Brazilian Pix, referral links explicitly identified as such, etc., and be transparent about finances and that if someone likes the service, their support helps maintaining it.
