Y'all are nuts! It hasn't even been a week since I raised the call for fundraising and we already have it done!

It was sitting at 99% all morning, so I kept refreshing every 10 minutes to post this!

Great success!

As promised, I plan to send the overflow to lemmy development once I open the next goal. I'll let you all know!

Congrats ! One way to incentives donation would be an award system like on reddit between instances and maybe custom emojis like on discord/youtube to be used inside the community.

We already have custom emotes! I used some in the OP.

I tried on wefwef, control and jerboa. In All of them, the emotes are way too big (consided as pictures ) in jerboa they're small enough for the gold chests to appear next to each others but still way bigger than an emoji (if it's the supposed size). So it must be a phone thing. How are they supposed to look ?

Here's a desktop screenshot. I'll try to upload smaller versions

This pays the server bill for this site, and any excess is donated to the Lemmy developers as far as i'm aware

To be exact, server infra and a bit of buffer for unexpected costs or scaling

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Smart. Far too many forums of old failed to keep a buffer and ended up dying when a temporary cost explosion happened. Thank you for your work o7
