When utilizing the "support Lemmy" drop-down menu of a specific instance, it directs users to the Lemmy project home page (https://join-lemmy.org). Is this considered to “cover all the bases” where support is needed?

I'm curious to hear from longstanding Lemmy users and admins if they have any input.

In the event that Lemmy attracts a significant number of users, I want to identify individuals or instances that may require assistance but lack a clear avenue for financial support.

For example, I have no doubt, third-party app developers may offer tip jars or subscriptions, alternative means of support. But there may be some contributors who could use support to carry the load of all of us users.

Thanks for your thoughts.

As you're on lemmy.ml

This is something I think a lot of people trip up on. This community is hosted there but the user isn't on that instane - so they would not be supported the instance they actually on... Unless I've missed something?

Yeah, OP is on lemmy.world. It doesn't help that some apps hide the instance by default, so you don't get any idea of who's local to you or to the post.
