Call for donations for Lemmy.World

2 months ago by lwadmin to c/lemmyworld

Calling for donations! We're running Lemmy.World for you to use for free, however the running costs aren't for free... If you appreciate our services and are willing and able to help out paying the bills, please consider a donation on one of these platforms:

https://ko-fi.com/fhfworld - Preferred.
https://liberapay.com/fhf
https://opencollective.com/mastodonworld - (Either recurring or one-time donations).
https://patreon.com/mastodonworld - (Recurring donations only)
https://bunq.me/fhf - This is a Dutch bank account for those looking for SEPA / IBAN bank transfers

We have a blog with overview of the running costs, which is severely outdated... I will update this before the next call for donations: https://blog.mastodon.world/

I'd love to understand the costs associated with a project like this. Do you have a breakdown anywhere of where money goes each month?

We keep a blog but it's way overdue.... but the costs didn't change much so you get an idea: https://blog.mastodon.world/

Goddamn, I thought it was cheaper! I donate already to my instance and dev but I'll throw what I can your way too.

Hugely understandable. It's so much rougher than people think for a small project to maintain a consistent blog. Thank you for the posts you do have!

Lemmy.world is a small project?

Can you promote this link to the body of the post instead of buried in a comment?

Yes I will put the link in the post later today. I am not home and am not logged in to lwadmin on the phone.

I figured it would be a decent amount. I set up a recurring payment via Patreon ages ago and I’m glad I did. My $5 USD/mo isn’t going to change the world, but I hope it helps.

5 dollar a month is amazing, that likely covers for you and hundreds of other people. Thank you!

Sorry for late comment. I think displaying some kind of goal per month could be helpful to motivate donations.
