- Comment on Clarifying Costs of Running the Fediverse with Jerry from Infosec.Exchange 1 week ago:
He is right though, 5000 USD per month for an instance with 12k monthly active users is completely unrealistic. mastodon.world is a similar size and costs much less than 2300 Euro per month (which includes numerous other instances like lemmy.world etc).
- Comment on Migrating communities in the wake of the lemm.ee shutdown 3 weeks ago:
Many of these are already implemented in Lemmy, others are too controversial and wont be added (such as karma).
- Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month 3 weeks ago:
We are currently preparing the 1.0 release which will have lots of major new features, such as private communities, multi-communities and much more. Although 0.19 is also getting constant updates with smaller improvements, for example 0.19.11.

Can you say which mod tools Piefed has that are missing from Lemmy?
- Comment on Ibis 0.3.0 - Fediverse Integration, OAuth and More 5 weeks ago:
Im not familiar with Wikidata, but with enough development time it could probably also be recreated as a Fediverse project.

I hope youre right :)
- Comment on What is the dead-simple(est) way to onboard compeltely new people to Lemmy/Feddy 1 month ago:
join-lemmy.org has such an instance picker.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 1 month 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.
- Comment on Lemmy needs more donations 1 month ago:
Check the Opencollective link above, it shows the payouts for lemmy.ml hosting.
- Comment on Lemmy needs more donations 1 month 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 1 month ago:
Good idea, thanks for the suggestion!
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 1 month 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 1 month 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.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 1 month ago:
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 1 month ago:
Do you know a good site for that?
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 1 month ago:
It looks good! Why dont you add it to the app list on join-lemmy.org?
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 1 month ago:
You can read the release announcements to see what changed. Be warned its a lot.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 1 month 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 1 month ago:
Thank you!
- Comment on Lemmy needs more donations 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago:
Would you donate to Lemmy if lemmy.ml hosting was funded separately?
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 1 month ago:
Thank you!
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 1 month ago:
Thanks!
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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.
