PSA: The Memmy developer has an easy way to donate to Memmy development funds and since he never shares that fact, I will. (merv.news)

I use Memmy everday as I'm sure many of you do as well and Memmy has been getting extremely frequent updates yet there is still not an easy way to donate monthly to support the development of Memmy. He has a Buy Me a Coffee account setup here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/gavink but I've never seen it posted anywhere and its not available in the bottom of the settings section of the app which would make sense and be convenient. So I figured I'd make a post about it in case anyone else has also looked for a way to donate. (I found the link at the bottom of the github https://github.com/Memmy-App/memmy)

hopefully recurring donation options are available soon

I have tried just about all the Lemmy apps available right now and Memmy is by FAR the best of the bunch. Thanks so much for sharing!

Thanks for donating. We’re adding an in app tip jar soon

[–] wisdomlight@reddthat.com 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I donated. But how do I know it’s verified??

[–] eevee@artemis.camp 11 points 1 year ago

It’s linked on the Memmy GitHub repo.

[–] nix@merv.news 4 points 1 year ago

Its on his github so i think its fair to assume its legit

I just tried to donate and ApplePay failed for not filling out a captcha that wasn't even displayed. The site also didn't play nice with iCloud trying to anonymize my email. BuyMeACoffee is broken.

I made an effort. When it's easy to support creators, I do so. But I won't jump through hoops trying to figure it out when something is broken. If I see a different option to support in the future (such as Patreon), I'll try again.

Weird, I had no captcha! Thanks for trying though. This dev is wonderful.

Maybe a sticky somewhere with a list of all the ways to donate to people ?

I just bought him 5 coffees. He needs it.

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

What does Reddit have to do with this?

[–] polyrhythm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I found a page for Memmy on Open Collective, but I'm not sure if it's legitimate. Would love to hear from @gkd@lemmy.ml if this is a viable way to support the work!

[–] sgriff@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It is legit

[–] nix@merv.news 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for confirming! Buymeacoffee also has a membership option if you enable it in the settings. You can just make each tier be “one coffee a month, 2 coffees a month” etc and in the description put the ☕️ emoji so you don’t have to think of some intricate description for each tier

[–] polyrhythm@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Awesome, thanks for confirming. Happy to be the first supporter. Thank you for an incredible app!
