Don't know what the exact cause was/is for this big surge - but I am glad to see it. No matter what personal problems people may have with the main devs, they are doing great work on the platform.

https://liberapay.com/Lemmy

Also of interest, since this is a good place to plug things, other threadiverse things:

https://liberapay.com/PieFed/

And I couldn't find a way to donate to mbin, in lieu of that:

EDIT: The creator of mbin gave a link in the comments: https://melroy.org/donate.html

Oh yea I started donating all right...to PieFed (I don't even have a PF account), .world and .cafe.

I won't be giving a penny to them until I see some major changes in regards to .ml as so many people called for on every other version of the donation thread that wasn't .ml

You can still donate to Lemmy without supporting ML! From https://threadiverse.link/lemmy.ml/post/29579005:

Update: For those of you who want to support Lemmy development without financing the hosting of lemmy.ml, know that the hosting is paid exclusively through OpenCollective. You can see the payment details at this link. This means donations through all other platforms (Liberapay, Ko-fi, Patreon, Crypto) are exclusively for Lemmy development, and not a single cent goes to lemmy.ml hosting.

Edit: Liberapay is the preferable donation option, as it has very low fees and is also open source.

As was brought up in those threads, but it's simply not good enough, it's just paying for .ml with extra steps (e.g. through their pay/salary rather than directly funding hosting costs)

[–] ArtificialHoldings@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

If it's any consolation, the admins of .ml will likely indefinitely host .ml with or without the support of patrons funding the development of Lemmy. Your support or lack thereof will never affect its operation.

This is a bold lie that Nutomic keeps pushing. These donations go directly to Nutomic and Dessalines. The servers are not the problem. The problem is the admins who happen to be the devs.

Do they have a link where your money doesn't go towards moderation costs?

No. Because they're scammers. They want you to pay them so they can ban people for being against genocide all day.
