Don’t know what the exact cause was/is for this big surge - but I am glad to see it. No matter what personal problems people may have with the main devs, they are doing great work on the platform.
Also of interest, since this is a good place to plug things, other threadiverse things:
And I couldn’t find a way to donate to mbin, in lieu of that:

EDIT: The creator of mbin gave a link in the comments: https://melroy.org/donate.html
Saddam Hussein
I really thought this was an elaborate Saddam hiding meme
Can’t slip a Saddam past us that easily!
Oh yea I started donating all right…to PieFed (I don’t even have a PF account), .world and .cafe.
I won’t be giving a penny to them until I see some major changes in regards to .ml as so many people called for on every other version of the donation thread that wasn’t .ml
You can still donate to Lemmy without supporting ML! From https://threadiverse.link/lemmy.ml/post/29579005:
Update: For those of you who want to support Lemmy development without financing the hosting of lemmy.ml, know that the hosting is paid exclusively through OpenCollective. You can see the payment details at this link. This means donations through all other platforms (Liberapay, Ko-fi, Patreon, Crypto) are exclusively for Lemmy development, and not a single cent goes to lemmy.ml hosting.
Edit: Liberapay is the preferable donation option, as it has very low fees and is also open source.
