I hope youre right :)
- Comment on What is the dead-simple(est) way to onboard compeltely new people to Lemmy/Feddy 1 week ago:
join-lemmy.org has such an instance picker.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 1 week ago:
Thanks for your donations and your understanding. Its a bit annoying that people ascribe various beliefs to me personally based on nothing more than comments from random lemmy.ml users. But it seems there is nothing I can do to change that.

Check the Opencollective link above, it shows the payouts for lemmy.ml hosting.
- Comment on Lemmy needs more donations 2 weeks ago:
Creating a foundation requires a significant amount of time and effort, and also results in extra overhead for regular tax declarations and other management. I dont think its feasible at this time, but definitely something I want to do in the future.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 2 weeks ago:
Good idea, thanks for the suggestion!
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 2 weeks ago:
There was no hardcore refusal because this matter wasnt even mentioned as a blocker for donations until a few days ago. In fact lemmy.ml hosting is only funded via Opencollective, so if you donate through any other platform the money goes entirely to developer salaries.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 2 weeks ago:
So you expect us to make a lot of major changes to the oldest Lemmy instance in existence and disappoint many users. All for the goal of maybe possibly getting a few more donations, without any guarantee. Its more likely that youre a cheapskate looking for any excuse to avoid donating, and keep using Lemmy without contributing at all. If you dont want to donate at least be honest, I would respect that.

In other words your experience on Lemmy has been mostly positive? Then why dont you want to support the development of this free software? Keep in mind that lemmy.ml is exclusively financed via Opencollective, all other donation platforms go directly to developer salaries.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 2 weeks ago:
Do you know a good site for that?
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 2 weeks ago:
It looks good! Why dont you add it to the app list on join-lemmy.org?
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 2 weeks ago:
You can read the release announcements to see what changed. Be warned its a lot.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 2 weeks ago:
You are not banned from lemmy.ml

Your estimate is wrong, have a look at all the code he writes: github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%…

Note that lemmy.ml hosting is only financed via Opencollective. All donations through other platforms go exclusively to developer salaries.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 2 weeks ago:
Thank you!
- Comment on Lemmy needs more donations 2 weeks ago:
I would definitely like to setup a foundation to handle the finances for Lemmy. But doing that requires a significant amount of time and money, which we do not have yet. Also lemmy.ml hosting is exclusively paid via Opencollective, all other donation options go directly to developer salaries.
- Comment on Lemmy needs more donations 2 weeks ago:
lemmy.ml hosting is exclusively paid via Opencollective. This means all other donation options go directly to developer salaries.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 2 weeks ago:
Would you donate to Lemmy if lemmy.ml hosting was funded separately?
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 2 weeks ago:
Thank you!
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 2 weeks ago:
Thanks!
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 2 weeks ago:
lemmy.ml is part of Lemmy development as it is used to test new versions before release, take performance measurements and have first-hand experience with the mod tools. If I stepped away from lemmy.ml it would make Lemmy worse and cause more problems for other instance admins. In any case the costs for lemmy.ml hosting are already covered at a much lower donation level, anything you contribute goes directly to developer salaries.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 2 weeks ago:
The roadmap contains a new feature for extended instance block, which also blocks all posts and comments from that instance’s users. If some feature is not implemented in Lemmy thats not out of malice, but because we really dont have time to work in everything that people ask for.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 2 weeks ago:
Working on Lemmy is already a fulltime job. Providing a managed hosting service would add another significant workload and leave much less time for the main development work.
- Comment on peertube recomendation algo alpha build 3 weeks ago:
Algorithms are definitely needed to discover good content. There are some good videos on Peertube, but its very difficult to find them due to all the low effort spam. Lemmy also had different algorithms from the beginning and no one ever complained about them.
The problem with algorithms used by Reddit, Facebook etc is that they are completely intransparent, and include factors which dont benefit the user, such as “engagement” or advertising. As long as Fediverse algorithms are focused on benefitting the user and are transparent there is nothing wrong with them.
- Comment on Mastodon to Lemmy post formatting rules questions 5 weeks ago:
Lemmy dev here. Making the same post to multiple communities is not possible, so you need to post multiple times tagging a different community each time. Links are taken from Activitypub attachment, but Mastodon only seems to support image attachments. So it is not possible to add other types of links unless Mastodon adds an option for that. Markdown would also have to be supported by Mastodon.
There are various other microblogging platforms on the Fediverse which may support these features and may be better suited to your purpose. For example Hometown, Pleroma, Misskey or Mitra to name just a few.

Thanks, good to know.
- Comment on What features are missing from piefed, or, why aren't we reccommending piefed instead of lemmy? 1 month ago:
It could be backported, but there are now significant changes between the 0.19 and development branches, so it would take some work.
- Comment on What features are missing from piefed, or, why aren't we reccommending piefed instead of lemmy? 1 month ago:
Fair enough, its just a bit strange that this particular critique comes up regularly.

Keyword filtering is about to be merged into Lemmy. Other features will also be added over time.
