    I sent some of the overflow to lemmy development

    I was hoping for something like that the other day. Makes me happy to see it happening! Thank you :)

      Word to the wise, Lemmy devs prefer liberapay over patreon and opencollective.

      https://liberapay.com/Lemmy/donate

          Iirc, liberapay take a 0% cut.

        I like that open collective has public auditing though, which I think is important for FOSS projects.

          You may well be correct, I simply read a comment that said they prefer Liberapay.
