Summary of the answers:
- lowest number so far: lemmy.ml with 0.03€ per user per month
- a few others (feddit.uk, lemmy.zip) have around 0.11$ per user per month
Recent discussion I had with rglullis: lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/40374812/17448295
For lemmy.world / mastodon.world including some of the smaller instances we host, it’s like 0,06 euro per active user per month. If every active user would pay 2 Euro per year that would be enough to cover hosting costs. If every active user would pay 1 euro per month, I could quit my dayjob and focus on the Fediverse fulltime.
(Sidenote: Stux and I created the non-profit Fedihosting Foundation which owns lemmy.world … but finances are still separate for his and my instances)
Thank you for confirming that 5€ is enough to cover twice the hosting costs.
While we are talking, there have been occurrences of “power tripping” by some LW mods (e.g. lemmy.world/post/23229045/14411568?sort=New) , is there any mechanism to escalate this to you?
Phrased another way: “I don’t think you are allowed to make a living out of the work you do here, so thank you for accepting all this for free”.
Sending e-mail to info at lemmy dot world would be the best option. The team will pick that up.
(By the way: 2 EUR per year would be enough if every active user would donate that but they don’t)
Thanks, I might send an email later.

Indeed. Have you thought about promoting this in an announcement post?

The list of statements where you have the chance to share your values is still unanswered.

I answered here: lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/40374812/17470674
Which, for some reason, didn’t make it to your instance? communick.news/comment/4930027
Both versions of the post also show 106 vs 105 comments, so there seems to be something here

I specifically said “you can just say agree or disagree”, so please don’t come with that “It would take too much time”.

Please don’t erase nuance from a conversation. Everything isn’t yes or no answers.
