Also look into donating to your instance maintainer. They literally pay for the server costs, so it's fair.

[-] crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz 20 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Yea, gotta send my maintainer some money.

[-] Pete90@feddit.de 7 points 8 months ago

Reminds me of that Southpark episode, where all the adults are gone.

"Provider, provider..."

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.

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Ok, try making it monthly recurring!

[-] wizzor@sopuli.xyz 2 points 8 months ago

I have been wondering why my maintainer doesn't remind people to donate more often. I set up a small recurring donation, so I don't have to remember, but I think it'd be okay to regularly remind people.

[-] crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz 2 points 8 months ago

My maintainer can't really ask anyone to donate, mostly cause he only has one user and thats him.

[-] jelloeater85@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Servers aren't cheap to run... And we're all still trying to run stuff as cheap as we can while still giving our users a good experience.

[-] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 2 points 8 months ago

To be honest, it's quite cheap but it's very time-consuming

[-] MashedTech@lemmy.world 27 points 8 months ago

I feel like there should be a Lemmy campaign: "Do you know who your maintainer is? Contact your local instance and find out!"

[-] crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz 9 points 8 months ago

I think that some people like me know who their maintainer is all too well.

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

It's important to know thyself.

[-] jelloeater85@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

It's expensive to run your own servers, even with Hetzner, Vultr and Digital Ocean.

I would recommend KoFi for donation services. It's what we prefer.

[-] Osito@lemmy.world 23 points 8 months ago

Not having one time donations prevents a lot of people from participating

[-] CowsLookLikeMaps@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Open Collective allows one time donations.

You can also make a donation on Liberapay and then it's very easy to cancel it after the first payment so it doesn't recur.

[-] jbk@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 8 months ago

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.

[-] hamid@lemmy.world 18 points 8 months ago

I donate 20 dollars a month to Lemmy devs 🤷‍♀️

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 8 points 8 months ago

Thank you for your kindness 🙏

[-] Blaze@dormi.zone 10 points 8 months ago

Happy to be part of that very select subgroup

[-] Beaver@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

The top dogs.

Or should I say hedgehogs.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 8 months ago

Signed up for $5/month. I have a ton of Patreon subscriptions, mostly for podcasts but also a couple of software projects. I tried to donate to my instance to help cover hosting, but it was only PayPal (who stole my money many years ago and made it impossible to contest). I hadn't ever considered donating to the devs, so thanks for making this post.

[-] Mini_Moonpie@sh.itjust.works 9 points 8 months ago

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?

[-] CowsLookLikeMaps@sh.itjust.works 12 points 8 months ago

That's donating to your Lemmy server, not the development of Lemmy itself. Which is totally cool and I commend you for it.

[-] Mini_Moonpie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

Thanks for the answer - it's good to know!

[-] czardestructo@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Thanks for the reminder. Just signed up for monthly donations.

[-] Keineanung@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

And just like that, I now have both a liberapay account and am using a new keyboard on my phone.

[-] lemmy_nightmare@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

What’s with the new keyboard?

[-] Keineanung@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

The description on dessalines' liberapay page mentioned him working on Thumb-Key. So I figured I'd give it a try.

[-] richieadler@lemmy.myserv.one 2 points 8 months ago

Nope. I'm a touch typist. That keyboard doesn't fit my brain. QWERTY is too deeply embedded.

[-] CluckN@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

If only there was a way for each viewer to contribute a small donation based on views/clicks. Like some sort of digital billboard.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 8 months ago

Put it on the blockchain! /s

[-] answersplease77@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

you mean ads? Yes that's fine as long as they don't sell our data or get paid by groups to manipulate content

[-] sneezycat@sopuli.xyz -1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

ads are fine

of course it's a lemmy.world user lmao

[-] HKayn@dormi.zone 5 points 8 months ago

Didn't take long for instancism to become a thing here, huh

[-] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 0 points 8 months ago

Lightning zaps are implementable

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

Hey I have donated to lemmy and lemm.ee
