✨ Become a Supporter

ListSeed is free for everyone. Supporters help keep the garden growing — and get a few perks in return.

What supporters get

Supporter badge

A ✨ badge appears next to your alias in branches, comments, and your profile. Visible to the whole community.

🎨
Colored alias

Choose a custom color for your alias — Gold, Teal, Ember, Violet, or Rose. Stand out in every discussion.

👁️
Seed analytics

See view counts, water rate, engagement rate, and wilt rate on your own seeds. Understand how your ideas, discussion points, and topics are landing.

🍀
Unlimited saved seeds

Save up to 6 seeds to My Garden before unlocking Supporter status. Supporters can save as many as they like.

📌
Pin a branch

On your own seeds, pin one branch so it always appears at the top — above the sort order, above everything else. Great for dev logs, update threads, or highlighting a key response. One pin per seed, swappable any time.

Two ways to become a supporter

🌳 Way 1 — Grow a Tree (free)

Grow any of your seeds to Tree status — 2,500 growth points — and Supporter status is granted automatically. No payment needed.

Each 💧 water = 2 pts · Each 🌿 branch = 10 pts. Plant a compelling idea, discussion point, or topic — and let the community grow it for you.

Sign up and start planting

☕ Way 2 — Tip via Ko-fi

Send a tip through Ko-fi and we'll grant you Supporter status manually — usually within 24 hours.

Important — please include your alias when tipping:
In the Ko-fi message field, write your ListSeed alias (e.g. listseed). Without it, we have no way to match your tip to your account — Ko-fi only shows us a name and message, not your ListSeed login. If you forget, send us a message on Ko-fi afterward with your alias and we'll sort it out.
Disclaimer: Ko-fi tips are voluntary contributions to support ListSeed's development and hosting costs. They are not purchases and do not guarantee any specific service level. Supporter status is granted as a thank-you and may be subject to change as the platform evolves. ListSeed is not responsible for any issues with Ko-fi's payment processing.

Common questions

How long does Ko-fi supporter status take?

We check Ko-fi tips regularly and grant status within 24-48 hours. If it's been longer, send us a message on Ko-fi.

How much should I tip?

Ko-fi's minimum is $5, but it's entirely up to you — give whatever feels right. Every bit helps keep the garden growing.

What if I grow multiple Trees?

Supporter status is per account, not per seed. Growing one Tree is enough — extra Trees just make you legendary in the Hall of Fame.

Can I lose supporter status?

Supporter status earned through a Tree or Ko-fi tip is permanent, unless your account is banned for violating the community guidelines.

Is this a subscription?

No — Ko-fi tips are one-time by default, and there's no recurring charge or billing from us. That said, Ko-fi does offer an optional monthly tip if you'd like to support ListSeed on an ongoing basis — totally appreciated, but never required.

Does tipping give me more votes or visibility?

No. Supporter status is cosmetic and analytical only. Seeds surface based on community engagement, never on payment.
