I would reccommend donating to ur instances over the devs. The instances have ongoing costs that if not paid will shut down the fediverse far quicker than a slowed development cycle
Ty I figured someone would point me in the right direction. On an aside, absolutely no one irl I've talked to has ever heard of Lemmy or the fediverse which is disappointing. I wonder how we get fediverse stuff to grow
The .world instance is very well funded - they take more money than they spend. Not profit since they're a nonprofit, they save it as well as give to others. Meanwhile the Lemmy developers still don't have proper full time funding. This information is public. If I were you I'd subscribe to fund the developers for now. Lemmy.ca is also well funded.
