Is there a difference between a donation and a sponsor? As in are the NLNet contributions included in that €4k value?

Since you've used different terms it makes me think they're different.

We sometimes get one-off crypto donations, but they're pretty rare. The totals on that site are the recurring donations / sponsors, which helps make it easier to estimate our yearly budget.

NLnet is separate from that above also, and was what made lemmy possible by letting us work on it full-time, for most of its history. We've been trying to shift to a sponsorship / recurring donation model, as that's more sustainable for the future, and will let us grow the co-op better.

Ah okay, so it's not as transparent as it seems? It sounds like some of the contributions are hidden.

No, everything is transparent.

Forgive my misunderstanding. I don't understand this sentence then. I read it as the NLnet contributions are not included in the €4k value. May you clarify please?
