Hey folks!
I’m writing this because funding for the Lemmy project has dropped to critical levels, which could seriously impact its future development.
Thanks to the generous support of our lemm.ee community, our server infrastructure costs are covered, and we even have a few months of runway. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who has contributed - lemm.ee wouldn’t exist without your help.
However, infrastructure alone isn’t enough. Our servers run Lemmy software, and without ongoing development, the platform cannot grow or even be maintained.
Lemmy is an open-source project with many contributors, but the vast majority of development work has been carried out by a small group of core maintainers. A few maintainers work full-time on the project, relying solely on donations and occasional grants to support themselves.
I’ve seen Lemmy development up close, and the maintainers have consistently gone above and beyond what I consider the standard for small open-source teams - they are constantly writing code, mentoring contributors, and keeping everything running. Their work is essential, and without continued support, it cannot be sustained.
If you value Lemmy, please consider supporting its maintainers directly. Every bit helps.
Please check out this post for more details about how to support the maintainers: https://lemm.ee/post/63034576
Thank you for reading, I hope you have a great weekend!
Go back to reddit
Why are you in a lemm.ee specific meta post commenting though? Given the context this comment is so fucking funny.
Go back to the hole that brought you to this world.
Mean thing to say about your dad’s bedroom

No u.
Oh wait, you can’t, because even Reddit was smart enough to ban your asses half a decade ago.
…and then they came here, why did you follow?
Because your reddit overlords think saying killing slavers is equal to installing a fascist regime in the United States
Sounds like a perfect “enlightened centrist” right-wing hell for you to jump back into
