I'm the admin of it, donating to myself sounds weird.

Selfhosting lemmy users ordering dinner for themselves: "Yeah I'm donating to my lemmy instance"
Well, in that case I donated food to my instance admin several times today!
"There you go bud, you did a good job today on the 18.4 update" looking at a mirror while eating cold pizza from last week
No, because lemmy.ca doesn't take donations yet.
Was about to comment this. I plan to donate once it’s registered as a non-profit
Yes. I have donated to several instances that I use. These are individuals or small groups and they're paying the costs out of their own pockets. Since I am benefiting from what they do I want to contribute.
Considering I self-host.... yes?
I was about to say the same 🤣
Yes. Since my data is not being sold to a 3rd party to pay for this app, it makes sense to me to pay some of those costs myself.
I didn't know you could do this tbh.
It's usually in your instance's sidebar, if you open the instance main page it may have a donation link
Both to the instance I'm on, because hosting and bandwidth costs money and to the Lemmy software devs because I'd like them to be able to concentrate on developing Lemmy.
I pay the bill so, yes?
No. I typically do donations to projects I appreciate like Wiki Media through cryptocurrency and I don't think that's supported by my instance.
No :) Instances are cheap and instance admins run them to help users escape reddit and other crap platforms.
If an instance is huge like Lemmy.world, it's a different matter. Maybe their users will provide financial support.
