I think this could be a good idea. As Lemmy gains traction it will get more expensive to maintain an instance, grossly so for the “main” instances. People can donate directly, but a reward system could help improve donations.

I’ll check it out, thanks!
My main machine is running Linux Mint on a Ryzen 2700x, 32gb ram, 80TB of raw storage and a vega 64 GPU.

I’m dealing with this with my 10 year old daughter, all her friends have social media, Facebook Messenger etc.
I found delta chat, which uses IMAP email, but presents it in a chat format, she just needed her friends email accounts, easy. And it killed the desire for messenger.
We also recently setup her own website with a forum, so she and her friends can write stories, share images etc. We haven’t got to her actually building her own homepage yet, but it’s coming.
She hasn’t experienced mass social media yet, so having her own (sub)domain with a forum, her email@domain, etc is exciting for her and is letting her express herself on a platform that me and her can both fully control.
