I've been donating to both lemmy.world and (puke in mouth) lemmy developers, and I like to vote with my wallet. My understanding is piefed is effectively an alternative to lemmy for more or less the same content. I think the dot world donations would be going to the same locations (lemmy.world and piefed.world and mastadon.world are all https://fedihosting.foundation/hosted/ ?), however I'd much rather throw the cup of coffee I buy @desalines every month to the piefed developers.

So is that a donation to supporting the hosting cost of the instance or for the developers?

Because I already donate to support the instance by donating to the foundation (I think).

Scroll down and it says "Support PieFed development". There's a link to Patreon with a bit more details. But that's by the main developer who also runs that instance. You'd have to ask them about more details about how they spend the money.

Very nice! If you drew that picture yourself... It'd probably find a nice place over at !piefed_promo@piefed.social

correct.

you can also find this on the donation page, which is linked in the footer of every page. it contains both information about donating to piefed development and also about donating to our foundation.
