Its admin @sunaurus@lemm.ee wrote all about it here: https://lemm.ee/post/26
Thanks. Looking at the admin's profile, he seems to be very reasonable. I especially like this comment he made:
Yep ... seems refreshingly and perfectly reasonable to me.
Poland?
History fits the majority of Eastern European countries but yes as said they are Estonian. Actually, now that I think about it can't really think of any Eastern European countries that it doesn't fit at all.
Eastern Europe had finally just stabilized a little bit it looked like. They’ve consistently gotten the short end of the stick from the superpowers in the region using their territory for war.
Hopefully after Ukraine is over (with Ukraine keeping all their land) there will be some stability in the region again
Living next to Russia has never been easy. Living between Russia and Western powers has been worse. I'm Finnish and while we have not really seen ourselves as Eastern Europeans for a long time, we are. Just got lucky past century.

It says a significant chunk of their funding comes from users. Where does the other funding come from?
The admin made a post reporting on the finances.
Good to see donations are keeping the place afloat!
What is github sponsorship? Are they advertising on that note instance?
GitHub sponsorships are a way of donating to programmers. In addition to hosting lemm.ee, sunaurus has made significant contributions to Lemmy's codebase. (In my opinion, he is by far the most skilled programmer working on Lemmy.)
