It doesn't help that the donation links still are just for Mastodon world, with no clear way to even find the donation links from Lemmy world. They put out a posting for sysadmins with part time hours for free... As a sysadmin I definitely don't have time for that shit. Maybe they could make the donation links more obvious and try to hire actual staff if they need help.

Both sites are sharing the same infra IIRC, hence the donation links pointing elsewhere

They are different servers in the same datacenter and there is overlap in the teams.

Thanks for the clarification 👌

Well you say that but we have plenty of sysadmins who applied and most of us are it professionals already doing this as a hobby project. I think we tackled that in our most recent announcement. If that is not for you that is fine.

The donations to mastodon.world are shared with those to lemmy.world. LW admin Ruud has been very open in his near-monthly blogs: https://blog.mastodon.world/

These blog posts are also announced on Lemmy World. I think it is all pretty clear.

It took me way too much searching to find that. Think about it as a user looking for a donation link, the website's drop down has a link to donate to Lemmy's codebase but nothing clear for Lemmy world.
