How does vlemmy plan to support itself? I understand as Lemmy grows and vlemmy is subscribed to more and more communities, it will need to replicate those remote instances and that costs money. As members, what should we expect?

as of now, how much resources the server hosting an instance requires, how much perhaps if content and instances double the size? Is that a burden for other instances to have a yet another instance to sync with? if people self-hosted instances for one or a few people only would that make sense?

There is a way to donate. So far seems like there are very few of us supporting, but as more people discover and start to use it hopefully more people will donate.

What is this mysterious way to donate you speak of?
