I’m fresh from reddit. Lemmy seems great and I wonder what I could do to help? I have a fairly powerful home server, would it help if I ran a Docker instance of Lemmy on it? Spread the load maybe? Thanks for your insights.

    Donating is a great idea also. You can donate to lemmy.world (your home instance), and to the Lemmy project itself. There are no ads or angel investors here - we need to pay our fair share to keep our community-owned internet running.

    $1-2 per month towards your home server is a good number to shoot for. If you know you’re staying here for a while, just donate 12 months at a time in order to minimize transaction fees. If you want to donate but are not sure you want to stay on the same home server (or even on Lemmy itself), just throw $5 in for now and re-evaluate later.
