[Help Design Lemmy] What is a good text for the donation dialog in Lemmy?
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?
Edit: This is how the final design looks like:
Implement donation dialog by Nutomic · Pull Request #3034 · LemmyNet/lemmy-ui
Description Adds a donation dialog which gets shown to users once a year: Translations (still need to write a better text): LemmyNet/lemmy-translations#161 js-client: LemmyNet/lemmy-js-client#540 ...GitHub

in reply to Nutomic • • •Consider Donating To Support Lemmy
We're able to develop Lemmy as an open source platform free of tracking and ads thanks to the generosity of our users. Once a year we ask those who are able to consider donating to support the volunteers that develop and maintain this platform. Financial security allows us to continue current development projects and plan accordingly for long term projects. If you'd like to make a one-time or recurring donation simply click the button below. Thank you for using Lemmy.

There's also the other frontends like Photon that I use on my PC (1% time.....) that if I'm thinking right also wouldn't show it?
Cheers for all your work, it's much appreciated!

in reply to Nutomic • • •Well, I think a personalized message (maybe in the primary language of the instance) is more effective than some standard text thats everywhere.
I think most instance admins realize that there is also a need to support the devs, and a single place that advertises both and can get linked from the sidebar might also be more bring more donations to the devs.

in reply to poVoq • • •The dialog can also be translated using weblate (although thats not currently setup for 0.19 backports).
And the dialog cant be linked from other places. In any case we can still make changes after this is released based on feedback.

in reply to Nutomic • • •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
