We had this automated, but patreon blocked our IP, so I’ll update it manually rn, and try to do that at least once a month.

Did you try sending them an email or opening a issue asking them to to whitelist the IP? . this is completely unreasonable. you are a paying customer.

graphtreon is making a ton of requests so i think there should not be a problem. or maybe you could parse graphtreon instead.

You could create a repository with just this data and be liberal when giving out access.

Implement donation dialog

isn’t it suppose to pop up for me? i see nothing.

so far no change on the reported donations when comparing to previous reporting which is actually down.

maybe have somewhere a dashboard graph of something like “revenue per 1k active users”.

active users are higher then on march 2024 yet donation are down from 3,9K to 2.3K.

iirc they were already listed as goals in previous NLnet grants, so it has already been a while, not mention that Lemmy budget is a drop in the ocean compared to reddit and that money could definitely be used.

Any update on improving Lemmy fundraising process?

KDE recently did a post where they describe the result of adding a notification asking for donations. the money they received from only paypal alone in the 7 days of December is almost 5 times higher (62K) then their biggest previous month (October 13K).

Lemmy donations are down from march to today , while piefed is having a modest organic growth . maybe this could boost development resources bringing features users have been asking for years and improve the speed of experimentation that will help perfect Lemmy’s design and feature set.

Thanks for the hard work again!

Growth have been fairly organic . number of contributors grew by 28 percent this year. there are a lot of users so given that a percent of them will do some form of advocacy that will probably lead to more users and there will be a relatively large amount of people saying they adopted it.

There is a fairly active fork already . We well see what he will do. AMD saying it is not legally binding despite him signing a contract sounds like BS. Consulting the software freedom law center or some other non profit might be worth while.

/r/relationship_advice is leaking.

If somebody asks about anything , X happened in north korea is probably not a useful answer.

What “political linux distributions” exist? I use debian and used Ubuntu before and don’t remember anything political about it (At least by going by the how most people perceive something as political, That is the state should do X or not Y).
