This makes me get meta very fast: OP created this post, so they aren't lurking. It's isn't their first meme either, the profile shows about a meme per day.

So the lurking part isn't about OP. But is the other? Is it like everyone should contribute, even lurkers; or is it rather if you don't contributing via post, at least support financially?

Neither would be morally bad, don't get me wrong. I'm writing this to distract from the fact that I'm in the upper category of the meme.

If you post a link to the correct donation page it would be as good as giving 0.50$ yourself !

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Well your lurking days just ended, scoundrel!!

Jokings and donations to the development of Lemmy aside, aren't we a whole nation of Lemmy server hosters with no users just hoping you'd come over make communities and stuff?

This is just the first meme i could think of after seeing the post in announcements. Meta memes are fun tho.

Also check if your instance accepts support 👍

I self-host. Donate to me.

That’s one hell of a domain name

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It's one hell of a problem domain, let me tell you

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I do too, but I prefer users.

We're not the same.

(or am I completely off with this meme?)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You're completely off. I don't even understand what you mean

+1 for using XMR

Paid yearly, right? So that the $0.25 transaction fee doesn’t instantly chop your donation in half? Right?

librepay (which I assume OP is using), lumps donations together automatically to avoid this

Fuck tankie devs, support your instance.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Then whose gonna develop the platform ? It's open source but they still contribute the most

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

A based take for sure

I'm planning to start supporting the instance I'm on soon due to how good of a job they're doing

Good platform, too bad about the creators' hypocrisy because the code of conduct is good as well

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Explain the hypocrisy, please.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It's a somewhat often occurrence around Lemmy that adhering to the code is fleeting on their own instances

Edit: If someone doesn't know, the Lemmy project has this code of conduct in its documentation. It's really good

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

lurking, yeah...
