I never had COVID until everyone stopped caring about it. I’m on my 4th time having now.

Do not recommend.

It’s not a massive complaint, but I’d hope “m.lemmy.ca” would be reserved for something more OS agnostic.

Yup. I get what you’re saying now. It doesn’t fit indeed. And yes m.lemmy.ca will be reserved for something more OS agnostic.

I’ll keep that in mind, and I’ve just had a realization, we can set up all the donation options and just not “cash out” until we’re determined non-profit status and how we’re going to set up the financial side of it.

I’m curious why you say that. Seems to work fine on Android in browser.

Just do it every day if you really want to still be active on Reddit.

There will be a huge drop off to drop as part of the transition process to the new admin team we have paused donations at this time.

We’re on the fence if we want to accept further donations before registering as a not-for-profit to avoid any of the funds having to run through my personal bank account.

We asked him to stick around for as long as he wants in whatever capacity he wants. Good to have his input for a longer transition period so we can carry on his way of doing things.

Or support 3rd party app developers?

All the options sound great.

$137.xx right now per month. Moving images to Object Storage will slowly add to that.

We figure even without significant efficiency improvements for Lemmy we should be able to handle easily 25,000 users or so without adding more resources to that.

Correction: “you cannot get any closer legally”

I’ve seen many people to over the fence. Not a great idea at all.

The sorting algorithm is still a bit of a hot mess but slowly getting better. To my understanding yes, Upvotes and Downvotes do make a difference.

I’m sure they’ll bring more features to it soon, and their GitHub should allow you to make feature requests!

Thanks for the kind words! @Shadow@lemmy.ca has been amazing.

You guys are amazing and I’m more than happy with the subscribed donation I’ve given to your instance.

Just so you know with the transition to the new team all prior donation subscriptions have been cancelled and we’ve yet to set up a new system for donations.

We’ll let you all know when we have a new system up and running right now but it’s not high priority as we’re well funded for at least the next 6 to 9 months if we don’t have explosive growth.

I’m in favor and willing to help

Ever contribution is greatly appreciated even if it’s just 10 cents a month (please don’t actually donate just 10 cents, payment fees are more than that). We currently don’t have plans of doing flairs but if we ever do we will keep what you’ve mentioned in mind.

That’s the plan!

The current funds are enough to operate it at it’s current capacity for ~11 months. Once we get to accepting donations again and figure out how to set up our accounting, I would definitely like to see a growing contingency reserve fund built up to be ready for future unexpected growth or unexpected slowdown in donations.

We will continue to be transparent in a similar format to this but split the remaining balance in a operating fund and reserve fund.

We as admins would like this implemented too. It would help keep defederation to a minimum if the user has the power.

We’re Defederated from exploding heads, you shouldn’t see any content from that instance here.

It never even made it to the members. Their caucus voted it down. That’s a really strong signal to the employer that they need to do better.
