       Okay, so, there's like this Mastodon issue that I'd like to work on that's a huge precursor to potentially a lot of other things that could improve the fediverse.However, in order to work on it, I'd need probably €10k+ in funding, because it's likely to take me at least a month and a half to complete, as it's quite complex.How would you go about gaining that amount of funding?

       Note: I'm not currently saying what the issue is, for a few reasons, but it is a significant one. I'm hoping y'all will trust me that it's important.There's an incredibly small chance I might be able to direct some of my current grant towards it, however, it'd be very difficult to justify to the grant funders.The other option is going via grant funding again, but that process would delay implementation by 4-9 months, based on my past experiences.

       This isn't a theoretical either, it's just one of many issues for which I'd need significant funding to work on, well beyond the amount of funding I currently receive via: https://support.thisismissem.social(I receive somewhere between €700-1000 per month through that at the moment, but the effective “hourly rate" for my work on the fediverse works out to be like €30/hr or something)
