I think now is a great time to remind everyone, like sync's developer, Lemmy's developers need to be paid too! The amount of time all the devs put into making lemmy exist, in my opinion, should be worth some of your money. If you can afford it, donating to the people who develop lemmy and/or the people keeping your home instance up will accelerate the incredible growth of lemmy!

The people who develop lemmy get paid to do so, as stated by iirc Dessalines themselves.

I would put donating to those running instances at the highest priority, because without servers, we have nothing.

That grant is coming to an end, if it hasn't already.

They get paid from an NLnet grant, but it's only for specific features (not bug fixing) and it's not a living wage

The https://feddit.de hoster does not take any donations. The person stated 2 months ago that it was around 10 euros per month... Probably a bit higher now...
