That number seems a bit low, but it’s really important to support Lemmy and your instance.

I’d love to support my instance, but it ain’t doable for now (at least it wasn’t when I looked into it around Christmas).

I also think accepting donations demand some organization with taxes and everything. That’s why some instances don’t accept them.

Hey, if you can't swing it right now, that's totally OK. The beauty of FOSS is how accessible it is.

Well I can but my instance doesn’t accept money for now.

I guess all the steps you have to go through to accept donations are disuading some maintainers.
