There's some unrest because the Open Collective Foundation is stopping.

Don't worry, we use Open Collective Europe as a donations platform, they're going nowhere.

We've added some donation platforms, so if you would like to support us running our .world servers, you can do so here:

And for those wanting to donate crypto:

  • Cardano address: addr1v9qv6xvfwcx9ny56uag4umu6238sw2e7ff2kcxl3qe7p9esayjxgu

Thank you!

Reddit gold was such a great method of voluntary monetization. It'd be great if Lemmy would support something like that (although there are a ton of caveats.)

I had a $30/year subscription to Reddit for more than a decade.

I think Reddit gold can be benign, but let's not exploit FOMO plz. That's how we got loot boxes and micro payments.

How to do "Reddit gold" on Lemmy, in a non-exploitive and ethical way? That would be the rub.

The real danger isn't on Lemmy.World, where I think the money would go where intended. The real danger is incentivizing people to spin up small instances in the hopes of collecting.

Great point, this will happen instantly.

[โ€“] ruud@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That won't work. I have 340k users on my servers and it just covers the running cost. So with a 100 user instance you would get peanuts.

I guess the cross server implementation would be difficult. If you buy credits on lemm.ee, and gild a lemmy.ml user, who honors it to... not show you ads?

I guess it's mostly just a decoration thing to support the comment/post and the server. Still, which server displays which awards could get thorny.

I would say, through activity, not through paying. Then for activity they will get rewarded.

There is such a method! Sign up to a paid-member only instance. $29/year gives you an account at Mastodon, Lemmy, Matrix and Funkwhale.
