I'll start:

Some significant portion of funds go towards development of the Lemmy software. 80%? Rest goes to lemmy instance hosting.
Ads are reasonable and non-intrusive (no popups etc)
People can still browse w/ an adblocker

I personally would gladly turn off my adblocker if I knew the ads were supporting development. Hell, I might even click a few!

Straightforward funding requests from the instance are just fine. Advertisements can gargle a cactus.
