Giving money to your admin to keep things running or to the Mastodon project are great ways to give back and help your community.
Giving money to support individual users on Mastodon who need money and resources is just as if not more helpful and important.
Support the poor in your community. Pay the artists. Spread the resources around. Make this place as healthy and punk rock as possible.

@JigmeDatse @GinnyMcQueen What about a #Patreon or similar service for your local Mastodon server? That way there's some transparency to how much funding the instance gets, and gives another opportunity to meet your local user community? I could totally chip in a dollar month toward a service like this.
@masyukun @GinnyMcQueen mastodon.art has https://liberapay.com/glocal/ and I believe other payment options. @Curator would know of other options, which might exist. I think that is a big part of why things are so stable here.
