This was initially demoed at FediCon 2025, but CrowdBucks is an open source, self-hostable fundraising system that allows people to financially support one another. You use your existing Fediverse account to hold a fundraiser, and can also donate to other people’s fundraisers as well. The form factor is kind of similar to Kickstarter or Patreon.

    This is really cool, I could see this being used for mutual aid in the fediverse, as well as to give artists self hosted alternatives to patreon or kofi.
