I would like to see lemmy get huge and that means more niche communities and so far as I have seen the mods and admins would be great. And I say this as a learning mod.
To financially contribute to the instances that you use in order to keep the instance alive and growing.
Community gardens only flourish when people contribute. You can give seeds, you can put in the work, or you can donate the land, but you got to contribute something.
My main issue is that I don’t see a clear way to contribute short of hunting down the developers on patreon or something.
Lemmy can’t be as big as Reddit, there will also never be a “The Lemmy” network, all instances have their own rules and decide which instances to federate with.
I am on lemmy.zip, my lemmy experience is different from users on lemmy.world, hexbear, lemmygrad, lemmy.ml and so on.
We overlap in many ways, but there is no one true Lemmy experience, Reddit has a one true experience, if you create two new Reddit users, you can subscribe them both to the same Subreddits, but if you create a new user on lemmy.zip and lemmy.world, you may not be able to, since one might not be federated with with all instances the other is.
As for payment vouchers, since there is no core Lemmy, funds won’t be shared between instances, so we are stuck with funding individual Lemmy instances and the Lemmy dev team.
First, I don’t want Lemmy to get as big as Reddit. If it happen, fine, but I wouldn’t try to make it happen.
Create payment vouchers, like the ones Mullvad has on Amazon. Easy, private payment without having to learn crypto or give up a credit card number.

More niche communities does sound nice, ok, I’m on board with Lemmy growing.
Payment vouchers for…what?
