Hello, sh.itjust.works community!
A few months ago we began accepting donations to help cover the hosting and equipment costs of running this instance. We have been overwhelmed by your generosity and support! It truly exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much for helping to keep this instance running.
We would like to take an opportunity today to encourage everyone to also support Lemmy software development. We would not be here without the years of work that the software devs have put into creating this tool. There are certainly some users here with strong political opinions toward the lead developers. However, at the end of the day, we are all creating and maintaining this community together.
Nutomic recently posted a request for donations. Please take a look and consider sending some support their way:

wait why do they actually need money?
Lemmy already works
Things break, maintainance is required periodically, softwares libraries need to be updated timely and don't forget new features or fix implementations. Everything whether hobby or not takes time and effort and it shall be paid for eventually
