Welcome to this months financial report.
Everything is still ticking along nicely, so I’ll make this short and sweet. If there’s something else you want to know about all this then feel free to ask in the comments.
As can be seen from our graph on Open Collective we got £43.76 in and spent £49.99:
However, that’s not the complete picture - the various outgoings are listed in the spreadsheet but to break it down further:
Hosting remains unchanged (total after VAT €40.68 - £34.74):
- Server - €29.00
- IP4 - €1.70
- Backup box - €3.20
In addition I’ve been reimbursed £10.57 for earlier hosting payments. This is the penultimate one of these. So, after next month the contributions will cover the outgoings.
Since Tom handed over the instance, we’ve largely been focused on ensuring the site is working properly and that the bills get paid. This is now all working smoothly and, as a thank you for sticking with us and generously supporting the instance, we’ve been working on a few things. First up, we’ve added new frontends. We’re looking into other changes and hope to also add some perks for contributors too. With the latter in mind, I will be working through everyone who has donated and linking them to their feddit.uk usernames. If your’s isn’t obvious then contact me either here or on Matrix (the secure message button in my profile).
Previous reports:
Rhetorically speaking, I’ve no idea what an ID is, nor do I know what a front end is.
But my lack of knowledge about either of those things doesn’t seem to impact my use of Lemmy, and without the FedditUK instance that use would also have to be via somewhere that I know would not be as relevant to me.
While you guys continue doing the good stuff, I’ll be here and supporting your work. Many thanks.

Tvm.
That’s fine as your username here and on Open Collective are the same, so you are already accounted for. I may change “ID” to “username” for clarity.
On the frontends - Lemmy’s user interface is separate from what makes the magic happen behind the scene, so people can create new interfaces, like Photon. We’ve added three popular ones if people are interested but if you use an app or are happy to continue using the web interface, then feel free to just ignore this.
Thanks.
