Well, if you are up for it, I don't mind pitching in a lot. I got a lot of disposable income and I owe you guys big for hosting touhou_nsfw.
Maybe anonymously email them and trick them to promise to put you in the list if you donate?
To update on this, it's a total non-starter. Apparently these donations are monthly, not 1-time. When I went to contact the head lemmy dev, they said that it actually is for monthly amounts. So, it'd be $500 for 1 month of Burggit being up there. Which is definitely not worth it at all.
Ya, ew. No way.
Knowing that makes me surprised that they even have 1 sponsor willing to pay that much monthly.
The only way I'd have of receiving the money would be through Monero, so if you're okay with that, I wouldn't mind going through with it. I definitely do not have the money to do it on my own at the moment, so I guess it depends on how much you'd genuinely want to attempt and how much you were thinking of chipping in.
There's this too if we didn't want to put $500.00 into it.
Though people would balk less at them for refusing to feature us over that amount vs $500.00. I definitely don't have the moneys to put towards that. For referency that's over half of what I paid for the server box (without taking into account the upgrades I did to it)!
They already get a lot on opencollective too: https://opencollective.com/lemmy
