May I suggest instead donating to the Piefed project if you wish to donate at all - given its faster development cycle currently.
And since you’re from blahaj, your own instance also has a piefed.blahaj variant.
Comment on Discussion: Long-term need for automation tools for moderation

For the first option, if possible, having it be manually whitelisted per post/comment or user, would also be handy.
Not directly related, but I’d also like to know where and how to donate to the Lemmy devs.

What’s the difference between piefed and lemmy? Is one financed/supported/organised by commercial companies (or people that work for them)? Are they both grassroots and independent?
Skavau@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
Yes, piefed is independent in the same way as lemmy is.
Piefed has tools that Lemmy does not: Flairs, user flairs, hashtags, custom feeds/topics, scheduled posts, poll posting, events - word filters for users.

Most of these features are also implemented in Lemmy, and others too such as private communities (which can only be browser by users that were manually approved by moderators). However we have very high standards for correctness, performance and UX so it takes a while to get all of this released in the upcoming 1.0 version.

If you want to donate to lemmy instances (or the devs as well if the other replies haven’t changed your mind) a lot of them are on Liberapay and if yours isn’t, they probably have a donate link on their web UI.

Don’t donate to the Lemmy devs except if you are ok with supporting transphobes and tankies, because that’s what the Lemmy-Devs are (and it’s very well documented!). Donate either to the piefed team or to your local instance instead!

Donations are to pay for the development of Lemmy which is a full-time job and pays for our bills. Donating to Lemmy does not mean “supporting transphobes and tankies”, thats a really weird thing to say.

You can donate for Lemmy development through these links: join-lemmy.org/donate
And dont listen to what these other commenters say. Some people are really dedicated to tearing down everyone who does anything useful and productive on the internet. The donations are to pay for our work and pay our bills, not to express support for any political stances.
