I love the Fediverse and Lemmy. But technically, it still lags behind the big platforms in some areas. And there are many things where I believe the Fediverse will eventually be significantly better than centralized platforms, but which are still underdeveloped. Unfortunately, I can’t program myself, or at least not very well. So I’m wondering how I can best support development financially.
I donate monthly (recurring) to:
- Lemmy development: https://join-lemmy.org/donate
- Our Lemmy instance: https://fedecan.ca/en/donate
Currently most large instances are well funded so I’d personally focus on development funding.
Donate to Lemmy (or Piefed) development directly, then your home instance. If you’ve still got some cash burning a hole in your pocket, donating to instances that host communities you particularly care about is also something you can do
If you use an 3rd party native iOS or Android app, leave them a nice review! Also star any related projects on GitHub or codeberg.
