I would donate to support lemmy.today, as I'm using an instance and it has costs, but the admin has said that he's currently not interested in donations.
I believe I donated to Ernest's coffee fund back when I was using kbin.social. Can't recall how much, though. Was a while ago.
I donate to devs and to my instances (I'm in 3)
I don't, personally. I'm of the mindset that it's interchangeable with the mainstream social media, and I use them the same way.
I donate monthly to my instance.
Yup, if I'm on an instance I treat it like a pay what you can subscription. The only way they can provide the service I want is if people who use it fund it.
I recently bumped my monthly instance donations by 20%.
I hope to be able to cover as many folks who can’t afford it as I can…
I've donated to development. Instances need support, but the platform won't improve without developers.
It's popular to shit on lemmy.ml and the tankie devs, but that's where most of the development and beta testing happens. It's wild that software that allows users to ignore the silliness of that instance isn't funded because of the instance.
(It's possible for devs to be distasteful enough that I wouldn't use their software, but we haven't gotten there yet with Lemmy)
"Governments should be able to kill whoever they want as long as they're moving towards my ideological goals" is distasteful enough for.me.
You’re right and Lemmy.ml’s reputation has contributed to my hesitation in donating to development. But I also use Mastodon pretty regularly and I haven’t contributed to its development either. I have no explanation.
I made this post hoping to get some input on how folks divvy donations up amongst the three and maybe pressure myself into doing it.
If it makes you feel better mastodon is pretty well funded for an open source software non-profit.
I'd donate a bit to all of them (your home instances, and the respective devs) because you're using resources from each. But that's just me.
