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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

It’s important to know thyself.

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.

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

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.

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.

Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.
