The next Lemmy version will add a donation dialog, which is shown once a year to every user, in order to increase the amount of donations for Lemmy development. You can see the current text in the screenshot above and in the translations repo. You can also checkout the frontend PR. Is there anything you would change about the text?
You could add a word or phrase to remind people that it's being given away for free to anyone that wants to run it. That might get people to think about any benefit they are getting out of it, and how much they want to donate in response.
I'm not sure what is the best wording for that, but just be careful in case someone misunderstands and thinks it might become paid someday. I've seen that complaint in the past
For example, this could be misinterpreted:
You can also add a note about the frequency of the messages. Saying that you will only remind people once a year is nice to hear, and that way people won't dismiss it thinking they will do it when they are reminded the next time
Thanks for the suggestions. I changed the first sentence to "Lemmy is an open source project developed by volunteers and provided for free", and changed the hide button text:
Edit: Also shortened the title so it fits in a single line:
I think the buttons need a small padding between them, feels less weird on the design
Good, I also think the "some money" part in the end can be removed. It's obvious and at the same time makes it sound a bit more rough than it needs to be.
Youre right.
Nice, I like it :)
