As they claim about many things, the Vulcans did it first.

You can buy Ernest a coffee. That will certainly help keep the lights on. But you should probably take a look at the recent posts on his profile.
In addition to the personal issues, he hasn't been able to meet milestones. He gets sponsored by the same group as Lemmy's developers, and if he isn't reaching milestones, he isn't getting paid. And it sounds like his savings is running out.
While money certainly helps, it sounds like it's only the tip of the iceberg. Short of sponsoring a personal assistant and a project manager, I'm not really sure how we can help.
Some people don't think their thoughts are good enough to warrant their own post. But they might be more receptive to making a comment.
/kbin speaks ActivityPub but is an entirely different software stack. It has some big bugs with federation (specifically around admin actions like spam removal).
The primary instance (kbin.social) also doesn't have a very good team of mods/admins keeping up with the influx of spam.
Lemmy was about two years old when the reddit exodus happened, whereas /kbin had only been around for about a month. Its sole developer/admin is very overwhelmed just trying to keep everything running (and trying to, you know, live).
The project needs help, but I don't think Ernest has enough trustworthy people in his circle to delegate responsibilities.

Having the blind guy flying the ship is pure camp, and I'm here for it.
