It started with me wanting to support Lemmy, my Lemmy instance and Voyager. Then I checked what other open source apps I had installed from F-Droid. It would exceed my budget to donate to them all, so I chose the 10 apps that I most frequently use.

Lemmy
My Lemmy instance
Aegis
DAVx5
F-Droid
Feeder
HeliBoard
KeePassDX
Öffi
Voyager
Honorable mention to AntennaPod. It was on this list, but their contribution page states that their costs are already covered.

This is just my personal list, but I thought it's a nice idea to share it and maybe others will do the same and donate to their most used open source apps and projects.

Donations add up. If everyone did what you're proposing, many projects would likely get no donations. Ideally everyone would donate a small amount to every project they use, which would all add together to be a sizable amount for all projects that are frequently used.

We aren't all one person. We don't need to all act as if we're one. We should act as if we're a community, because we are. Support all projects, and they'll all get support.
