# #SᴘᴀᴄᴇHᴏsᴛ sponsorships

Here are some of the ways which `#SpaceHost` has helped sponsor the Fediverse:

## Firefish

* As of August 2023, `#SpaceHost` is sponsoring Sal Rahman ([@manlycoffee@firefish.social](https://firefish.social/@manlycoffee)) to work on Firefish full-time. (I.e., `#SpaceHost` is supplying the funds to pay for his full-time salary.)
  * through this sponsorship, here are some of the things which Sal has accomplished on Firefish:
    * created firefish-flavored-markdown (FMD) based on misskey-flavored-markdown (MFD).
    * added support for `finger`, `gemini`, `gopher`, `ipfs`, `ipns`, `matrix` URIs to firefish-flavored-markdown (FMD).
    * added QR code support to Firefish.

## Lemmy

* As of August 2023, `#SpaceHost` is proving funds to the Lemmy team on a monthly basis.
