best way to donate/keep Lemmy running? (lemmy.ml)

hi all!

so, I guess all the instances and the development itself are in need of some money to be run.

do all the instances need to survive on their own?

I'm not sure how it works in the background, but instances with a small community would still need to be able to mirror all the threads from other instances - if its community requests it
did I get this wrong?

I'm currently supporting the development through Patreon, but I guess sometime in the future l, it would be wise to split this with server costs for the instances.

or do I miss something?

thanks!

At the moment yes!

So the best thing you can do is bookmark your server and keep coming back to post :)

you seem knowledgeable, can you also help me with that?
I saw some links to communities in other instances (bewhaw). how can I access/integrate them? I don't find them with Jerboa on my server (lemmy.ml).
I also tried it in the browser and didn't see, how this could be done.

You can see this short part of Lemmy documentation for how the integration with other instances works.
