I still don't fully understand the fediverse, but I'm starting to. I know that the .world or the .ml or the .ee or whatever are the "instances" and that I can see all the stuff on all of them even tho I use .world. I am sure I will understand it better once I can start using sync again (or at least start understanding it in the capacity in which I'll be using it). How do I support an instance? I'm also a broke bitch and don't have a ton of disposable income, but reddit was and lemmy now is a service I appreciate and rely on, so I want to support the people providing said service, although I'm so grateful that I've been able to use sync for free for essentially the last decade.
Yeah, anything after the @ is the instance. Each instance hosts some of the communities (subreddits) and some of the users. Donate to the instance you're signed up to as a first priority and then maybe any other that hosts a load of communities you care about or do a particularly good job at something.
But if you're broke and can't afford it, don't worry! On the other hand those of us who DO have a little bit of disposable income should donate a little here and there to help bring about the internet we want to see.
There's a donate button on the top of the page (it looks like a heart) you can donate there. Second, a little off topic trick but did you know Mastodon users can communicate with us as well!! its pretty cool
I was never a Twitter user so I didn't feel the need to become a mastodon user, but I do think that's very cool, so now I can see stuff on mastodon without having to be a mastadonian? (Ps thanks for chatting)
Only from Mastodonians that put in the effort to post to a Lemmy community or respond to a Lemmy post. Still neat to see it working though. If you're really interested you could try Kbin. It interacts with all Lemmy and Mastodon content.
