How can I donate to lemmy.world?

People of lemmy.world should encourage the new users joining up on lemmy.world to other create accounts on other instances instead

Would donations help in the long run? How can we donate?

To all the folks that are worried, don't be. Let me tell you, Mastodon was a wreck when Musk took over Twitter and that all got sorted out within a week or so. The mods and sysadmin are obviously working hard to get things up and running, but growing pains are growing pains. To paraphrase an old adage: "Facebook wasn't built in a day." In the beginning, Zuck and Co literally limited signups to only people with college email accounts and only added universities a few domains at a time... scaling is very difficult, but it's not impossible. The way things are going, Lemmy is going to thrive!

It has become way smoother the last few hours. The work you guys from .world and Lemmy's devs have been doing is amazing!

Thanks again for all the hard work on Lemmy World. It feels fast today

Thanks team, love your work! Appreciate the updates and improvements but happy to have this place despite the bugs and quirks :)

Thanks for giving us all these updates all the time!

Thank you for everything! Can we donate to cover the costs? If more people throw in $5, we all will benefit. Can Lemmy server scale up without needing RAM exponentially growing with the user number? I hope the system will get better optimized for bigger user base as the time goes on..

I'm very much so okay putting up with hiccups right now. I know things will improve in the future.

Thank you and everyone for all your hard work!

I feel that lemmy runs smoothly the past few hours with very few hiccups and mostly on the upvoting and commenting side. I encountered no issues yet on the loading of the post.

Thank you so much for all your hard work.

I love the community here and am excited to see it grow. Thanks for giving a report, it awesome how invested y'all are and makes me want to stick with this instance even through the hardships. Keep up the good stuff!

The good thing about the fediverse is we can sign up on federated servers and still interact with everything on lemmy.world without the errors, then come back to our lemmy.world accounts when everything is smoother

Are there any plans to make user up and down votes not viewable publicly? I know for a lot of new adopters this can be a deal breaker.

I can't imagine how hard it is to rua server that has influx of large users. I Thank you for your hard work to run and maintain this instance. Hope it works out well and future will be a smooth sail.

Thanks u/ruud!

How are you managing all of this in addition to having a life outside of Lemmy? This kind of went from 0-60 in a blink.

Can anyone give me a link to donate to help out? Ever since discovering lemmy I hardly use reddit and would like to contribute to this community more!

The redirects to baseball games glitch is gone. I am unsure if this is because the glitch is fixed or if baseball season is over.

Thank you for your hard work! ♥️

I am sure the stress is unreal, but It is appreciated. You all stepped up when everyone was stepping down (or trying to sellout). I am hopeful this will turn into something great.

Thanks for the transparent update!
