Let’s say some of us would like to donate money to the Lemmy developers, and we’d like to make sure as much as possible goes to said developers, which would be the best donation platform to do so?

If the developers read this - aside from the above - is there one you prefer over the other for some reason?

(Yea, sending them money directly through crypto is probably the best to ensure they get the most out of it, but many of us prefer the comfort of those donation platforms.)

    I remember reading that they prefer you donate via Liberapay. Idk why that is, but that’s what I did. Back when I first donated they were only getting $38 per week.

    https://liberapay.com/Lemmy/donate

    There is also a patreon and an opencollective donation link somewhere.

      I also used LiberaPay to donate, and I also prefer it for it being free and opensource platform and it is a not-for-profit organization.

      Nice, thanks for sharing. I’m considering running an instance and was wondering if/how I could get help funding it. Just gotta see if it works with Korean banks… probably not, but maybe it’s an opportunity for open source contribution
