I'd love to understand the costs associated with a project like this. Do you have a breakdown anywhere of where money goes each month?
We keep a blog but it's way overdue.... but the costs didn't change much so you get an idea: https://blog.mastodon.world/
Goddamn, I thought it was cheaper! I donate already to my instance and dev but I'll throw what I can your way too.

Hugely understandable. It's so much rougher than people think for a small project to maintain a consistent blog. Thank you for the posts you do have!
Can you promote this link to the body of the post instead of buried in a comment?
Their Open Collective page has useful information about their budget.
https://opencollective.com/mastodonworld#category-BUDGET
Perhaps it doesn't show everything, but it seems like it shows quite a lot of how their donated money flows.
It seems like that page might not be taking into account income from other platforms though; it estimates the annual budget as being €4,000, despite the official monthly budget (as listed on their Mastodon blog as of last September) being €1,700.
I'd love to donate since this is just a superior reddit imo
It's not just superior but mostly... humane... and still much more trusted to invest your finite life time into, I believe...
There's love, empathy, and reason I feel...
...not just "shadow banned" as on Reddit...
Though, I was already banned for utterly unexpected reasons at !womensstuff@piefed.blahaj.zone and !privacy@lemmy.ml , and though these are still not Lemmy.World, there were at least appreciated reasons stated (in the Modlog), and not just "shadow banned" as on Reddit for utterly unknown reasons with no official responses with money sent into their Vault and Awards I do regret know being shadow-banned myself...
No one cares who you are there and how much you've done for tens of years; it's an empty void and sorrow...
Regardless...
Thank you, heartfelt, dear Lemmy and PieFed Developers, Artists, Community... for the ineffably magnificent Marvel... Art you do...
Please stay safe, and I wish you success, prosperity, achievements to treasure, reach new horizons, stability... and peace...
Done. OP please let me know yearly (i never do subscriptions but i'm willing to manually repeat yearly)
I also need to be reminded now and then,
Happy to pitch a tenner when reminded, you guys and Wikipedia.
Can't donate money but are you still looking for
– Technical / infra people , for helping run all the instances and plan for the future. (We use linux/docker/terraform/ansible, so either you need to know about them, or want to learn about them).
Yes we are, can you contact me at info@fedihosting.foundation about this?
Sure! It'll be a tuta mail address. What timezone are y'all targeting for collab?
I threw in 10 American flavored euros. Hope it helps!
Pssshh I donated but I'm not gonna make a comment about it
Just gave a €30 dono. I get way more value out of my Lemmy account than that. Thanks for all you do to provide an alternative to big tech
Is the foundation's BUNQ account still active? I have a recurring bank transfer pointed at it and I just want to make sure I'm not throwing money into a black hole. That's the NL78 BUNQ 2108 3219 85 account.
If it's still active, maybe consider putting it in the post? I'm sure direct bank transfers could save the foundation on processing fees.
Just upgraded to Tier 3 for monthly donations. Thank you for all you do!
T3 member since March 2025.
I've been donating monthly for almost 3 years, and I'm gonna doubble my donation amount! (1€ -> 2€)
Threw in a small recurring donation on Kofi. Thanks for your hard work. :D
Can't I just set up a SEPA transfer? Is NL78 BUNQ 2108 3219 85 your IBAN?
Done!
Thank you for hosting Lemmy.World :3
Bring back NSFW and I will
What? Can't you just visit other specialized instances for it?
Monthly donor here. Appreciate you guys.
Done. 20€ and lots of appreciation.
I just signed up for a €7/mo recurring. I used to buy reddit gold, but now I'm here on Lemmy, so thank you for putting the call out there. And the only reason I mention the amount and post this comment is to encourage others to donate as well. Especially a recurring amount.
I was going to donate $5 per month, but I had second thoughts after seeing the profile picture on the donation site. I probably will still donate eventually, but I am not comfortable supporting an openly biased platform.
...I'm new. I'll probably donate. I just need to make sure censoring people for different opinions isnt as common as it originally seemed. The fact that I was already banned from one of the most popular communities isn't a good sign.
If those mods are the people that would receive the donations, then I don't think they would use it for anything good...just a better funded echo chamber.
Can you explain? What picture, and biased how?
what offending picture are you even talking about? what "echo chamber"? what are you on about?
OP got banned from the US news community because they made some pretty controversial statements and (from their personal PoV) questioned if MAGA cult followers exist. That's the only community on LW they got banned from, cited as being for "rage baiting / trolling", which yeah it very well could be, even with a benefit of doubt.
But that's hardly an echo chamber. It's just one community, and moderators are typically completely unaffiliated with the server and can pick and enforce their own rules, nothing stops them from making or joining another US news comm. They even boasted that blocking that comm made their feed better, so it's not like they wanted to be there either.
Which picture? They all look pretty innocuous to me... Maybe I'm out of the loop on something?
Are you sure you weren't looking at some patron's profile? As far as I can tell the .world profile pics are just blue and green letters or a lemmy logo.
Donated, thanks
Donated
Donated, keep it going please!
Cheers, done
i am trying to donate but it requires me to enter email, how to bypass this.
Just give it a bullshit email address if you don't want a receipt.
done thanks.
