This was initially demoed at FediCon 2025, but CrowdBucks is an open source, self-hostable fundraising system that allows people to financially support one another. You use your existing Fediverse account to hold a fundraiser, and can also donate to other people's fundraisers as well. The form factor is kind of similar to Kickstarter or Patreon.

    Holy-shit it does!!! I couldn't find any of the main repos I want to donate too: Pi-Hole, jellyfin/seerr, *arr, immich. I guess that's an outreach problem? Getting PromoFaux (Pi-Hole) onto librapay. Pledges seem to help with that.

    But Lemmy, Syncthing and Vaultwardern is in in there. I have a tonne of services using MySQL, it's in there.

    Thank you kind stranger, my bank acct hates you.

    immich does not accept donations anymore, they "sell you a license" (there was a loot of drama for this...).

    jellyfin does not accept donations at all. they say that in the website.
