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:

We have a blog with overview of the running costs, which is severely outdated...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/

    I'd love to donate since this is just a superior reddit imo

    It's not just superior but mostly... humane... and still much more trusted to invest your finite life time into, I believe...
    There's love, empathy, and reason I feel...

    ...not just "shadow banned" as on Reddit...Though, I was already banned for utterly unexpected reasons at !womensstuff@piefed.blahaj.zone and !privacy@lemmy.ml , and though these are still not Lemmy.World, there were at least appreciated reasons stated (in the Modlog), and not just "shadow banned" as on Reddit for utterly unknown reasons with no official responses with money sent into their Vault and Awards I do regret know being shadow-banned myself...
    No one cares who you are there and how much you've done for tens of years; it's an empty void and sorrow...
    Regardless...

    Thank you, heartfelt, dear Lemmy and PieFed Developers, Artists, Community... for the ineffably magnificent Marvel... Art you do...
    Please stay safe, and I wish you success, prosperity, achievements to treasure, reach new horizons, stability... and peace...

    Is there a financial summary of sorts? That outlines expenses and categories?

    I was honestly pretty surprised to open this and realize the call for donations doesn't have an included transparency report.

    It's probably a heavy lift, but something like that can bring considerable confidence to users who want to support you financially.

    Can't donate money but are you still looking for

    โ€“ Technical / infra people , for helping run all the instances and plan for the future. (We use linux/docker/terraform/ansible, so either you need to know about them, or want to learn about them).

    Just gave a โ‚ฌ30 dono. I get way more value out of my Lemmy account than that. Thanks for all you do to provide an alternative to big tech

    Just upgraded to Tier 3 for monthly donations. Thank you for all you do!

    Is the foundation's BUNQ account still active? I have a recurring bank transfer pointed at it and I just want to make sure I'm not throwing money into a black hole. That's the NL78 BUNQ 2108 3219 85 account.

    If it's still active, maybe consider putting it in the post? I'm sure direct bank transfers could save the foundation on processing fees.

    Have stopped a subscription I don't have a use for anymore so I'll jump on your ko-fi at the end of this month as the replacement for that. Absolutely deserved, hope you get all that's needed! (Does ko-fi have reoccurring payments? Haven't used it before, and I'd like to have an automatic monthly donation)

    I just signed up for a โ‚ฌ7/mo recurring. I used to buy reddit gold, but now I'm here on Lemmy, so thank you for putting the call out there. And the only reason I mention the amount and post this comment is to encourage others to donate as well. Especially a recurring amount.
