This is a follow-up to my previous post asking for design suggestions for the new donation dialog. It gave a lot of valuable feedback which is why I'm making another similar post.
This time it's about the donation page on join-lemmy.org (linked above). What can be done to improve the texts and design? For a start I already changed the text to the same one from the donation dialog. Here more space is available, so a longer text with more details could be written (possibly below the donation buttons).
What do you think about the available donation options? Do they work for you or would you prefer to donate through a different platform? On the other hand it is possible that the number of available options is already too confusing. Would it help to add a short description for each button?
Below are lists of contributors, translators and sponsors. They haven't been updated in two years and no one complained, which indicates that they don't serve as motivation for people to contribute or donate. So I would remove that whole section which will leave a lot of free space. What else can we put there, maybe a list of reasons why people should donate?
By the way I plan to make a recurring series of posts like this. The next ones will likely cover onboarding for new users, the reports page and more. If you know a catchy name for this series you can also comment it below.
Edit: The changes are now deployed, but you are welcome to make further suggestions.
The patreon page sucks. You can and should show the tiers without requiring people to become members first.
Not sure what you mean, I can see these without login:
I'm loading it up on mobile
Okay I looked at it, and on mobile, if you're not logged in, it always shows that join for free button regardless of your tiers. They want you to join patreon first.
I really hate patreon, and wish ppl would just use liberapay, as its more focused on developers anyway.
Switched to LiberaPay. Though I dislike the way they try and guilt you into making lump-sum payments.
You can view the tiers without doing so however on mobile.
Edit: viewable without joining by tapping here:
