Calling for donations! We're running Lemmy.World for you to use for free, however the running costs aren't for free... If you appreciate our services and are willing and able to help out paying the bills, please consider a donation on one of these platforms:

https://ko-fi.com/fhfworld - Preferred.
https://liberapay.com/fhf
https://opencollective.com/mastodonworld - (Either recurring or one-time donations).
https://patreon.com/mastodonworld - (Recurring donations only)
https://bunq.me/fhf - This is a Dutch bank account for those looking for SEPA / IBAN bank transfers

We have a blog with overview of the running costs, which is severely outdated... I will update this before the next call for donations: https://blog.mastodon.world/

Is there a financial summary of sorts? That outlines expenses and categories?

I was honestly pretty surprised to open this and realize the call for donations doesn't have an included transparency report.

It's probably a heavy lift, but something like that can bring considerable confidence to users who want to support you financially.

Their blog has a break-down of their expenses from August 2025. It's about 1700€ per month, mostly for server-related costs.

Agreed, I am more than happy to donate to keep this going if I get a summary of where the money is going 😊

There's a brief account of their finances on the linked blog post in the OP
