Just an FYI in case you feel like throwing me a few bucks to offset server costs every month or whatever.

    New to Lemmy in general, but I saw on other lemmy instances server owners provided monthly updates to their server costs and had transparency of exactly how much money has been donated that month, how much money is set aside in total, and the monthly server costs. I love this and think its great if that was done here

    Also, is there any thought on updating the specs of the server when more users join and traffic increases?

      A lot of that chatter is happening over on the midwest.social Matrix server. There has been a lot of database talk that’s been way over my head haha.

      At least 2 hardware upgrades have happened in the last couple days iirc.

      When I asked about server costs earlier, the owner told me:

      I get like $9/week so yeah I’m good

      I think it’s at $28 a month now with the upgrades
