I'm the admin of it, donating to myself sounds weird.

Selfhosting lemmy users ordering dinner for themselves: "Yeah I'm donating to my lemmy instance"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Well, in that case I donated food to my instance admin several times today!

"There you go bud, you did a good job today on the 18.4 update" looking at a mirror while eating cold pizza from last week

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, because lemmy.ca doesn't take donations yet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Was about to comment this. I plan to donate once it’s registered as a non-profit

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Yes. I have donated to several instances that I use. These are individuals or small groups and they're paying the costs out of their own pockets. Since I am benefiting from what they do I want to contribute.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Considering I self-host.... yes?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I was about to say the same 🤣

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Yes. Since my data is not being sold to a 3rd party to pay for this app, it makes sense to me to pay some of those costs myself.

[–] Jackthelad 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't know you could do this tbh.

[–] utopianfiat 2 points 1 year ago

It's usually in your instance's sidebar, if you open the instance main page it may have a donation link

[–] leraje 4 points 1 year ago

Both to the instance I'm on, because hosting and bandwidth costs money and to the Lemmy software devs because I'd like them to be able to concentrate on developing Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I pay the bill so, yes?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

No. I typically do donations to projects I appreciate like Wiki Media through cryptocurrency and I don't think that's supported by my instance.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No :) Instances are cheap and instance admins run them to help users escape reddit and other crap platforms.
