Hello Lemmings!

I understand that the developers of this wonderful world are living on donations right now. Communities that pay for themselves are nicer places!

I found the donate link here (https://join-lemmy.org/donate), but that seems to go to just one developer. I would like to donate to everyone, including the creators of Lemmy as a whole, and the creators of Lemmy.World.

How do I do that?

How do the coworkers of the instance host get paid?

The way I've seen it be done is that an instance creates and open collective or ko fi fund. Then people donate into that and then the instance admins can use the money in that fund to cover hosting costs, upgrades, time spent on issues etc.
