Are there any paid services for either Lemmy or Mastodon? Something where, given it is a subscription service, you would expect them to stick around long-term?

I kind of feel the same way. When someone is offering service in exchange for pay, it signals that they're serious about this and see it as a part time job at least, as opposed to someone just doing it as a hobby or just for a learning experience.

In my search I found 3 that offer multiple services for a single donation/subscription:

Neat.Computer - Their terms of service weren't strong enough for me
Tromsite.com - I didn't like their Peertube upload policy
Tchncs.de - The one I ended up joining.

I really wanted a smaller instance, but I just couldn't find one that I was happy with.

I think the ideal provider would give you a package deal with an identity on a Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed, and whatever else comes along servers.
