I just saw what BeeHaw (or something like that) is and it is described in their sidebar that running their instance and all that costs money. I know that operating servers costs at least a little bit of money but I don’t know who provides that for Lemmygrad. I have never seen the option to donate to this community and as far as I know there isn’t any rich leader of ours that sponsors us. So who actually operates Lemmygrad and funds it?
Xi here, Lemmygrad is funded directly from my personal salary, keep up the good work everyone!
China and DPRK
We pool together all of our Xibuck allowances to buy the highest quality, bargain bin Huawei equipment (Our budget isn’t very high)
China does.
I’m kidding, but bumping your post as I had someone explain it to me in the hope that they see it. @CriticalResist8@lemmygrad.ml was it you maybe?
Lemmygrad is paid for by muad’dibber, the VPS isn’t terribly expensive
and, as we all know, Muad’Dibber is funded by the NED
Dang, surprised he hasn’t been fired yet, with his political leanings Muad is probably the worst NED agent in the foundations history.
What if he’s only pretending to be a tankie to get the real tankies to let their guard down?
That’s the purpose of this instance, we’re all CIA agents.
Say hi to Eric in accounting for me when you hand in your PTO request btw Johnson.
PTO? In this country? We run on American blood hoorah, we don’t need no commie “PTO”.
I haven’t seen my family in months.
Sounds like sunk cost to me - sell 'em!
Who are the “real tankies”? Those are real?
We’re all just feds after all.
I actually saw that lemmy.ml and lemmy development itself is funded by some European fund for open internet I’ve never heard of. Not sure if it’s just some open grant or what.

I don’t think they fund lemmygrad hosting in particular though so I assume that’s out of pocket but I don’t know.
NLNet are fine - they tend to fund projects that promote free and open alternatives to gigantic american companies. If memory serves they’ve funded mastodon, and lots of other small projects too.
Never said they were suspicious just not something I’d heard of. Seems fine to me.
