Consider supporting Lemmy development or donating to your local server if you have the means. Peace!
Also look into donating to your instance maintainer. They literally pay for the server costs, so it’s fair.
Yea, gotta send my maintainer some money.
Did you do it?
Sure as hell did, I took a 20 euro bill went to atm and put it to my bank account.
Got the donation completely safe.
Ok, try making it monthly recurring!
I donate 20 dollars a month to Lemmy devs 🤷♀️
Thank you for your kindness 🙏
Not having one time donations prevents a lot of people from participating
Just set up auto-donations to Lemmy devs and my instance admin(s). Thanks for the reminder! It ain’t much for me, but with many others doing the same it’ll make a huge difference.
I feel like there should be a Lemmy campaign: “Do you know who your maintainer is? Contact your local instance and find out!”
Thank you!
I think that some people like me know who their maintainer is all too well.
It’s important to know thyself.
Happy to be part of that very select subgroup
The top dogs.
Or should I say hedgehogs.
Thanks for the reminder. Just signed up for monthly donations.
I’ve been donating to the patreon linked in the lemmy.world sidebar: https://www.patreon.com/mastodonworld/about
What’s the difference between that and this?
That’s donating to your Lemmy server, not the development of Lemmy itself. Which is totally cool and I commend you for it.
We started coming here because we had to pay for Reddit
That’s not accurate and that’s a false equivalency and you know it, man.
I hate reddit and everything but reddit is still “free” last time I checked (though the users are the product.)
We’re here because reddit screwed up alternative app devs, and it also worsened the user experience for everyone.
And the “reddit payments” are there solely to enrich some board member assholes.
Donating to Lemmy instance maintainers so they recoup some of the server costs for something they pretty much consider a hobby is definitely not the same.
Nah. Im here because I didn’t want to pay.
But you didn’t have to pay. So…
But regardless, we’re all here.
I was a Redditor for 14 yrs or so never paid a penny. I left because of censorship, shadow banning, bots and shills, atroturf’d voting and manipulation of content and posts from the reddit team themselves due to bribes or whatever support they get from forign entities, how they killed all 3rd party apps, and how they use their users data and abusing their mods and subs under those mods control.
Plus reddit used to be fun. I remember thinking at the end of the day, “I’ll browse reddit until I read something that makes me laugh out hard” and withing 15-20 minutes, I was laughing my ass off.
Nowadays it’s pure doom and gloom bullshit.
Are you trying to pressure people to donate? Not cool man.
