I think now is a great time to remind everyone, like sync’s developer, Lemmy’s developers need to be paid too! The amount of time all the devs put into making lemmy exist, in my opinion, should be worth some of your money. If you can afford it, donating to the people who develop lemmy and/or the people keeping your home instance up will accelerate the incredible growth of lemmy!

    I haven’t looked too deeply into the financing (recent migrant from Reddit). But would like to find out more.

    Is Lemmy / Fediverse run like the Wikimedia Foundation?

    Is current financing supporting the paid work and growth of servers etc?

    What is considered a fair regular donation? Should I donate to Iemmy.org and the instance I have joined - lemmy.world? I would be happy to know what others here are contributing.

    Thanks!

        Thanks for the links and info! How much are people donating on average?
