Not only that, sign up to donate to their Patreons. I give a buck a month to my mastodon instance and my two lemmy instances.

I only donate to mutual aid requests, personally. It’s 5-10 bucks depending on what I have at the time and I do it a few times a year. When my parents’ house burned down people donated thousands ton a GFM set up for my parents, so it feels right to pay it forward within my means.

A couple of times a year I do sales of my art that benefit a particular group, and that usually corresponds to a national tragedy. I did one benefiting Kansas City’s Community Bail Fund after the George Floyd murder, for example.

The only regular donation I make is a buck each to my two Lemmy instances and my mastodon instance every month.
