I believe they work on Lemmy full time, and earn money from a grant - which I think is tied to them implementing certain features if I'm remembering things correctly.
That being said, I do hope that all of this isn't killing their interest in Lemmy...
Key point: they get money for implementing features, not fixing bugs, so I think for now they're surviving off donations
