I love the Fediverse and Lemmy. But technically, it still lags behind the big platforms in some areas. And there are many things where I believe the Fediverse will eventually be significantly better than centralized platforms, but which are still underdeveloped. Unfortunately, I can't program myself, or at least not very well. So I'm wondering how I can best support development financially.

Servers cost money to run, many lemmy servers have set up a way to donate for server costs.

You can try to post about lemmy on other platforms, but be aware that that carries a risk of getting banned.

Normally I'd also recommend supporting the devs, but fuck tankies. I plan to switch to Piefed because of that, since it's obviously hypocritical to keep using a standard Lemmy server when you dislike the devs so much.

I flipped to piefed about a month ago. I took 1 evening to open 1 tab with my lemmy subscriptions and 1 with piefed and manually transferred it all.
