It started with me wanting to support Lemmy, my Lemmy instance and Voyager. Then I checked what other open source apps I had installed from F-Droid. It would exceed my budget to donate to them all, so I chose the 10 apps that I most frequently use.

This is just my personal list, but I thought it's a nice idea to share it and maybe others will do the same and donate to their most used open source apps and projects.

I do this too! $5/month to Fedilab, Wikipedia, OrganicMaps, AntennaPod, Signal, among others. Gotta support open source!

I am doing 5-10$ rounds of donations (4-10 projects each generally) to my favourite projects too on a regular basis. I favor XMR transactions as is it largely accepted those days and fees are appropriate for such low amounts.

I just went through F-Droid and counted out all the projects I have on my phone. At £5 each I'm looking at an annual bill of about £70/year... Bargain.

Thanks for the idea!

Oh dude I love it! I recently donated to Thunderbird. My first Open Source donation (apart from Wikipedia). Feels good. I generally contribute through testing, but once I start earning a good amount, I'm gonna do what you did...

Funny you post this, I just bought premium for KeePassDX this morning.

I donate to a few things (eff, fsf, Mozilla, kvaesitso, my Lemmy instance, tasks.org) but want to donate to more (guix, keepassdx, syncthing, eternity, maybe some others).

I didn't know about öffi, thought it would only cover Germany but it supports much more countries. Thanks for the tip!
