If you want to donate, here’s donation platforms we use:
- Throne.com: No need to register. I tried and received payment. So it works.
- SubscribeStar.adult: Account is not approved yet.

Financial status
Finally, our instance became self-sustainable with donations! We received a lot of donations especially in February. Therefore, I would like to report the financial status here.

A little note about about this financial status report
- Throne
- it is fiat type and I will only add money here when I withdraw it.
- Cryptocurrencies
- I will truncate numbers to 4 decimal places.
- It may not always be up to date. You can check up to date ETH balance by clicking to it.
- No matter which coin you send from Trocador, the money will merge into Monero.
Didn’t know GitHub sponsors was a thing.
Neat.
(Also: new sponsor).
If I can make one request (not that I feel you should be in any way honored to follow it up or prioritize it):
The local blur policy/implementation is horrible.
I want to just scroll through content. Everytime I log in I must update the settings.
http://wefwef.app doesn’t even give me an option to adjust it.
We had local settings to auto expand, disable blur etc. but these settings has gone with the new update. I’m adding right now.
I’m not related to Wefwef or other apps, but you can try others like Mlem or Memmy.
Fully aware it’s unaffiliated, just that local settings was bad concept.
Yep. It’s a cheap patch more than a feature. We have to modify lemmy, lemmy-ui, lemmy-js-client to achieve this feature to be able synchronise to server. @trusted_pizza@lemmynsfw.com made a pull request for this, but its still blocked.
Liftoff! app (beta) is my favorite for one-handed scrolling, if you gnome say’n. Double tap to zoom full screen, double tap twice to zoom to full resolution.
