can we say that it is insanely cheap?
for an online platform competing with the big social media companies a total of less than 500 per month is nothing.
want to know the cost per active user per month and compare when Reddit and Facebook overhead.
you’re forgetting about hosting, administration, and moderation! Don’t forget to donate to your instance folks
Rimu really needs to hustle these days.
The Lemmy money is spread across 3 devs or so? And they have been writing it since 2018 or something. It’s not surprising that they have more momentum and name recognition.
PieFed is new and on Codeberg. Especially the Codeberg thing, I like. It does lack a CI though. How stable is it?
Codeberg has been stable enough for my small usage. It does have a CI, woodpecker, that requires manual approval. I haven’t used their CI yet
I meant that https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi doesn’t have a CI setup.
Ah, my apologies!
Warms my heart that people clearly care so much about keeping Lemmy going 😁
Now calculate the donations per active user and the difference becomes very small.
Yet the .ml stans say Desselines lives in abject poverty and “does this out of the goodness of his own heart”. Suuuure.
That’s split between him and Nutomic though. USD $4250 is €3,665.80 (as of writing this comment), divided between them is €1,832.90. That’s not a lot.
I mean, it’s equivalent to the minimum salary i guess. I think they’re european, and in france the minimum salary is around 1800€ before taxes. That’s not a lot in the absolute, but in the foss world, it is quite comfortable.
It’s definitely wrong to say we’re poor, no idea where people got that idea. Yet the amount of money we get is very little for a Lead Developer. It also doesn’t allow us to pay any additional developers.
where do you live that 4k between multiple people is considered wealthy
