Lemmy NSFW

Hello, team at LemmyNSFW,

I'm delighted to see your instance growing and I completely support the idea of donating to ensure the longevity and quality of this platform. Your hard work in maintaining and developing this instance is very much appreciated.

However, I'd like to bring up the idea of financial transparency within our community. Have you considered using a platform like Open Collective for your donation system? It has been adopted by other instances, including Lemmy.world. You can see an example of how they use it here: https://opencollective.com/mastodonworld

In my opinion, Lemmy.world is a shining example of how a Lemmy instance should operate financially. They provide transparency about their finances, which has greatly contributed to building trust with their users and the platform as a whole.

Considering we're part of an open-source, decentralized platform, I believe this level of transparency is paramount. It not only helps in building trust but also encourages more users to donate, knowing exactly how their contributions will be utilized.

Moreover, seeing big instances openly donating back to the source code developers could set a wonderful precedent. This act of giving back to those who helped create the foundation of our platform would be a tremendous demonstration of gratitude and community spirit.

Again, I am wholeheartedly in support of donating to this community, and I hope my suggestion will be taken into consideration. Keep up the fantastic work!

I support you my friend both monetarily and conceptually.

An instance run so good that it caused me to start using my porn account as main account deserves some love and support. Bought a sponsor package on throne.

I joined this instance for the NSFW, but at the moment it is the best performing instance I am on, so I am subscribing to all my tech communities through here as well. In other words, my NSFW account is now my main account. LOL. Going to Patreon for sure.

EDIT: I signed up for $5/month. Keep up the good work!

PS: Would you mind sharing your docker-compose file? I want to deploy a lemmy instance on GCP to help strengthen the network.

Out of curiosity how much storage are you using either total or on average with this instance? I feel like with the amount of media being uploaded it's likely slightly larger than others.

Just a headsup if you're trying to get on Open Collective, it looks like that might be another patreon scenario:

I set up a Patreon subscription. I am a DevOps Engineer. If you ever need to move to a more distributed setup let me know.

Thank you so much for hosting this instance. I appreciate it and will help with a small contribution of a few dollars per month from now own. ❤️

I suggest you to use XRP, TRX and LTC for cheap transaction fees and speed, and check out a VPS provider called IONOS.

Edit: I suggest you BTW to open an OnlyFans and Fansly account for the instance and try to carry creators to the platform maybe you can make a special community for them and get some extra donations.

May I ask where the server is hosted?

Where is the link to donate?

It is done. Via github if that is okay.

I have been locked out of my NSFW account activating the 2FA function

Seems like the least I can do. Thanks for setting this up.

Done via GitHub, thanks for your work!
