I'm engaging with dozens of servers and hundreds of creators on lemmy, and I'd like to give back to more of them. I built a tool a few years ago called subless(subless.com) which aimed to do something similar for the non-federated internet, and I'd like to make something for the Fediverse too.

Do you think donations should be distributed like content?

I threw together a survey that would really help me understand how y'all are thinking about donations. I'd really appreciate it if anyone could fill it out.

Thanks!

Definitely the same concept, but our implementation didn't require a browser plugin, and we worked on phones!

There's been a lot of attempts at micropayment solutions, a ton of which we cribbed lessons from for sure. E.g., that's why we didn't try the "charge a little bit from a wallet at a time" approach, which has failed a ton of times because it's exhausting to browse the Internet that way.

Ok, cool, I signed up for a test right now, I'm not sure though how many creators which I visit already have any account there, but we'll fgure it out over time.

Oh wow, thanks! So, big question for us, if you're down: if we also split your payment up along the different lemmy servers your account interacted with each month, would you see that as a benefit?

[–] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, because I'm kind of us using their infrastructure for my benefits.
