When our open source grant from NLNet runs out at the end of this year, we will have to switch to full community funding, probably via yearly funding drives. Currently we only have two full-time devs, @nutomic@lemmy.ml and I, but could potentially add more to our little worker coop as we grow.

If you'd like to help us out, here's our donation page: https://join-lemmy.org/donate

Liberapay is much preferred, but the other ones work too. I'm sincerely grateful to everyone who has or is contributed, it really does make us feel like we're working on something worthwhile.

Liberapay is simpler, automatically splits payment between devs, and has no fees (other than the payment processor). They’re even funded by their own model.

Opencollective isn’t as good because you have to submit invoices to get paid.

Patreon is absolutely the worst because it’s not made for teams, and they take a big cut for essentially just running a wordpress for you with payment buttons.

Anyone who can program should not be translating. There are many more people who can translate than program.

I think something you use on a daily basis would be the best. This video explains why: 4 Years of Developing a Side Project

Awesome Lemmy Instances is a Python script that has a few open issues that appear to be straightforward.

Self-host an automated Jellyfin media streaming stack

All of that is already archived on sites like https://the-eye.eu/redarcs/; all it takes is a server admin willing to migrate it to their database.

Yeah, it's still quite active. I think it's one of the best for rare/old single-file media. However, it's not very good for collections since you can't search for folders.

That's why the instance needs to be well-populated, so there are more chances of the content being replicated. However, the more users there are, the more likely someone gets annoyed and decides to defederate from them.

No, I've just found the right way, it's like

[instance agnostic redirect](/c/community name@instance url)
[!lostmedia@lemmy.world](/c/lostmedia@lemmy.world)

!lostmedia@lemmy.world

If there was an instance well populated that didn't block or get block by other instances that would be enough, because it would copy the content from every other instance, but that doesn't seem likely.
