Looks like the upgrade of lemmy.world finality fixed the statistics. Went from about 800 monthly users yesterday to over 5000 today. Not bad for a small hobby project.

Keep the quality content coming and let’s continue building this community.

    Not bad for a small hobby project.

    Are you referring to the Lemmy project or the Lemmy.world instance? Because Lemmy has two paid devs, and had two a while.

          If you mean “considerable” as in barely above minimum wage, sure… it’s either a job or a hobby and if it is a job you need to compare it with what they could earn as software developers elsewhere.

            Multiple hundreds is considerable to me and beyond “hobby”. It doesn’t have to be a full time job or fairly compensated to be more than a hobby.

            1.5 k has to be considered in my eyes. It’s not negligible or marginal as donations. (Note I labeled donations considerable, not their income - which I don’t know. My point was that it’s worth mentioning.)
