Donations (lemmy.nz)

Hi all!

TL;DR We now collect donations directly. You can donate to LemmyNZ's server costs here: https://buymeacoffee.com/lemmynz

LemmyNZ is hosted in a data centre in Auckland, and costs around $60NZD per month to run.

You can now donate to LemmyNZ here: https://buymeacoffee.com/lemmynz

If making the donation will materially affect you, PLEASE DON'T DONATE! Lemmy.nz is not going to die if you don't donate. Please only donate if you have plenty of money, but if you can donate on a regular basis without it materially affecting you, then please consider a regular donation.

Also, it's only a "donation" in the loosest form of the word. It's not a tax deductible donation as we aren't registered as a charity or approved donee organisation. It is simply a contribution to the costs of running LemmyNZ.

Given that anyone can make a donation, I'm not keen on having my details publicly available. It's one reason I picked this service.

Happy to add another service if it let's me not have my identity on a public page. Happy to do bitcoin or something if someone can tell me how to turn it into money!
