Anyone else getting these donation ads? Was it just shoved onto an update by the Lemmy devs, or is this coming from the instance admins? It doesn't seem to show on clean browser sessions to lemmy.ca

Can't say I have any issue with open source devs putting a request for donations inside the very apps they make tbh. Seems like a reasonable thing to do personally.

    I don't mind a request for support in principle, and I regularly donate to other similar projects.

    It's the implementation that will ultimately make the request succeed or fail. As in how often is it shown and in what manner.

    This, that's sort of why I am asking.

    There should be conditional and optional consent given to the host to decide whether to allow it or not to show up. They may also be interested in placing their own donation petitions using the same functionality.

    This. As long as it's non intrusive, and can be disabled/customised on the instance. Many instances would like a way to have funding support from their communities, and I think it's good will to allow the developers to have some.
