I'll donate $100 when you guys finally ban JordanLund for breaking so many rules as an power mod with at least 3 warnings from the admins to stop.
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 1700β¬ 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 π
There's a brief account of their finances on the linked blog post in the OP
I just signed up for a β¬7/mo recurring. I used to buy reddit gold, but now I'm here on Lemmy, so thank you for putting the call out there. And the only reason I mention the amount and post this comment is to encourage others to donate as well. Especially a recurring amount.
You just made me sign up as monthly now as well.
Fuckin' awesome! <3
Nah man, you are the awsome here leading the way!
I last donated like 13 months ago, so it's time to renew. Just remind me again in 12-13 months from now.
Is the foundation's BUNQ account still active? I have a recurring bank transfer pointed at it and I just want to make sure I'm not throwing money into a black hole. That's the NL78 BUNQ 2108 3219 85 account.
If it's still active, maybe consider putting it in the post? I'm sure direct bank transfers could save the foundation on processing fees.
It is!
Pssshh I donated but I'm not gonna make a comment about it
I'd love to understand the costs associated with a project like this. Do you have a breakdown anywhere of where money goes each month?
We keep a blog but it's way overdue.... but the costs didn't change much so you get an idea: https://blog.mastodon.world/
Goddamn, I thought it was cheaper! I donate already to my instance and dev but I'll throw what I can your way too.
We keep a blog but it's way overdue....
Hugely understandable. It's so much rougher than people think for a small project to maintain a consistent blog. Thank you for the posts you do have!

I figured it would be a decent amount. I set up a recurring payment via Patreon ages ago and Iβm glad I did. My $5 USD/mo isnβt going to change the world, but I hope it helps.
5 dollar a month is amazing, that likely covers for you and hundreds of other people. Thank you!

Their Open Collective page has useful information about their budget.
https://opencollective.com/mastodonworld#category-BUDGET
Perhaps it doesn't show everything, but it seems like it shows quite a lot of how their donated money flows.

2β¬/mo. Sorry it can't be more. Thank you for all you do.
Reddit never got a cent out of me.
Done. OP please let me know yearly (i never do subscriptions but i'm willing to manually repeat yearly)
I also need to be reminded now and then,
Happy to pitch a tenner when reminded, you guys and Wikipedia.

I'd love to donate since this is just a superior reddit imo
It's not just superior but mostly... humane... and still much more trusted to invest your finite life time into, I believe...
There's love, empathy, and reason I feel...
...not just "shadow banned" as on Reddit...
Though, I was already banned for utterly unexpected reasons at !womensstuff@piefed.blahaj.zone and !privacy@lemmy.ml , and though these are still not Lemmy.World, there were at least appreciated reasons stated (in the Modlog), and not just "shadow banned" as on Reddit for utterly unknown reasons with no official responses with money sent into their Vault and Awards I do regret know being shadow-banned myself...
No one cares who you are there and how much you've done for tens of years; it's an empty void and sorrow...
Regardless...
Thank you, heartfelt, dear Lemmy and PieFed Developers, Artists, Community... for the ineffably magnificent Marvel... Art you do...
Please stay safe, and I wish you success, prosperity, achievements to treasure, reach new horizons, stability... and peace...
Can't donate money but are you still looking for
β Technical / infra people , for helping run all the instances and plan for the future. (We use linux/docker/terraform/ansible, so either you need to know about them, or want to learn about them).
Yes we are, can you contact me at info@fedihosting.foundation about this?

I've been donating monthly for almost 3 years, and I'm gonna doubble my donation amount! (1β¬ -> 2β¬)
very nice πππ
I threw in 10 American flavored euros. Hope it helps!
Donated, thanks
Have stopped a subscription I don't have a use for anymore so I'll jump on your ko-fi at the end of this month as the replacement for that. Absolutely deserved, hope you get all that's needed! (Does ko-fi have reoccurring payments? Haven't used it before, and I'd like to have an automatic monthly donation)

Just gave a β¬30 dono. I get way more value out of my Lemmy account than that. Thanks for all you do to provide an alternative to big tech
Done. 20β¬ and lots of appreciation.
Just upgraded to Tier 3 for monthly donations. Thank you for all you do!
T3 member since March 2025.
