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.

    I run an instance, which hasn’t got much traction yet. It’s okay for me, if it does or if it doesn’t. At the moment, I’m financing it myself and I’m not asking for donations.

        Well, I just let r/fossdroid moderate itself for 2 or so years. Only had very few mod interactions. But yes, it’s “my” sub, because the other mod was inactive most of the time. I only recently appointed someone else to have an eye on it, too.
