When utilizing the “support Lemmy” drop-down menu of a specific instance, it directs users to the Lemmy project home page (https://join-lemmy.org). Is this considered to “cover all the bases” where support is needed?

I’m curious to hear from longstanding Lemmy users and admins if they have any input.

In the event that Lemmy attracts a significant number of users, I want to identify individuals or instances that may require assistance but lack a clear avenue for financial support.

For example, I have no doubt, third-party app developers may offer tip jars or subscriptions, alternative means of support. But there may be some contributors who could use support to carry the load of all of us users.

Thanks for your thoughts.

    “support Lemmy” only covers the project itself. If you want to support the people hosting your instance, you have to contact them. Individual instances may have links for donating in their sidebars.

    As you’re on lemmy.ml, an instance hosted by the Lemmy developers, I guess in your specific case using the linked page would be the right way to support your instance.
