and many (like me) don’t donate directly

But you pay for API keys?

Yes, that would be 'indirectly' just as we pay for electricity and hardware given to Boink or similar distributed computing, but psychologically it can make a huge difference. However, the exact method is imho less important than creating an AI workflow to assist in development of Lemmy et al. API keys can also come free trials, from private servers using https://localai.io/ or similar services with an API/Key.
