Calling for donations! We’re running Lemmy.World for you to use for free, however the running costs aren’t for free… If you appreciate our services and are willing and able to help out paying the bills, please consider a donation on one of these platforms:
- https://ko-fi.com/fhfworld - Preferred.
- https://liberapay.com/fhf
- https://opencollective.com/mastodonworld - (Either recurring or one-time donations).
- https://patreon.com/mastodonworld - (Recurring donations only)
- https://bunq.me/fhf - This is a Dutch bank account for those looking for SEPA / IBAN bank transfers
We have a blog with overview of the running costs, which is severely outdated… I will update this before the next call for donations: https://blog.mastodon.world/
Is there a financial summary of sorts? That outlines expenses and categories?
I was honestly pretty surprised to open this and realize the call for donations doesn’t have an included transparency report.
It’s probably a heavy lift, but something like that can bring considerable confidence to users who want to support you financially.
Agreed, I am more than happy to donate to keep this going if I get a summary of where the money is going 😊
There’s a brief account of their finances on the linked blog post in the OP
Their blog has a break-down of their expenses from August 2025. It’s about 1700€ per month, mostly for server-related costs.
I have now paid for shitposts thank you for your service
I don’t like how I think of someone when I hear “Thank you for your”
I don’t know how I feel about someone whose mom prefers me to stay “through breakfast.”
I just signed up for a €7/mo recurring. I used to buy reddit gold, but now I’m here on Lemmy, so thank you for putting the call out there. And the only reason I mention the amount and post this comment is to encourage others to donate as well. Especially a recurring amount.
You just made me sign up as monthly now as well.
Fuckin’ awesome! <3
Nah man, you are the awsome here leading the way!
Is the foundation’s BUNQ account still active? I have a recurring bank transfer pointed at it and I just want to make sure I’m not throwing money into a black hole. That’s the NL78 BUNQ 2108 3219 85 account.
If it’s still active, maybe consider putting it in the post? I’m sure direct bank transfers could save the foundation on processing fees.
Yes this is the one at https://bunq.me/fhf, I added it to the post
It is!
Pssshh I donated but I’m not gonna make a comment about it
