This progress bar is on the bottom of https://join-lemmy.org Does it automatically update when people donate to either the Liberapay, Patreon, or Open Collective? Is this progress bar open source so lemmy servers can implement it to show their donation\costs amounts?

It's just a static image. At the end of every month, a guy logs into all the donation sites, punches the numbers into a calculator, calculates how many more pixels needs to be added, then fires up MS Paint and paints the progress bar and uploads it to the website. ^(/s)
