From what I’ve heard they use .ml as their test server and not donations to keep the lights on there.
Do we have any idea of how much they use to support .ml ?
If they can clear this up, it might help people.

The developers spend donations to the Lemmy software on their instance lemmy.ml. A lot of people don’t want to donate to lemmy.ml
They’ll be fine if they stop spending money on lemmy.ml

Drag would propose that most of Dessalines’ “development” wages are probably being spent on hours moderating .ml, and that’s at least a grand per month.

The most recent merge request is just him updating the version numbers in all the captcha-related .tomls, lol

Note that lemmy.ml hosting is only financed via Opencollective. All donations through other platforms go exclusively to developer salaries.
