I'm already giving monthly through the Patreon for Lemmy.world / Mastodon.world. So, I'm fairly comfortable!

Oh, brutal. There's barely any rentals in that community, so it's going to be an awful experience for these folks in finding a new place to stay.
Agreed. It's one of the reasons I enjoy being a monthly Patreon to Lemmy.world. Ruud and the admin team post updates to blog.mastodon.world, and through Open Collective highlight their outflows and inflows of cash.
It's a best practice for building transparent communities. By sharing information, and showcasing where a person's donations go, it builds confidence in a team of volunteers by a network. Also, for curious types like me, I can see what's happening.
As a side benefit, it allows for teams to build resources and establish new projects, like Lemmy.world. Which is excellent.
Same here.
I always imagine that the poor critter is in a moment... of being made aware that they are a frog. And just trying to adjust to it. It's a bit of whimsy that always improves my mood.
Ah! One of my favourite communities! 🤣
For the original effort on Mastodon, the Little Big Planet vibe was indeed an inspiration. The 'hand made' aesthetic is a really neat way to share that a place is being created and made by its users, and having it be a tangible, almost print or paper product, I felt it touched that key cultural element of both Lemmy and the work of the fediverse/activitypub.
Oh dear. Now that you mention it, I kinda see it too. Thanks for the flag: I'm... going to give it a think about how to shift it so that... isn't there. Maybe in the second version.
It makes sense to go for simpler.
Also, the banners might need some extra work, as I think the various community pages might need a level of customization to reflect their local work (ie: listing the /c/support url).
I'm pretty hyped. I still have some edits to do and items to add/shift, and to send over to Ruud later. But this is going both on the fridge and into the resume! 🤣
Calckey has that. And so do other Fediverse alternatives.
It'd be nice to have some flair or a shiny object to showcase contributions to the funding effort. And something really simple would be excellent.
