Major performance problems have been fixed in Lemmy in the past 48 hours, with more pending in the next 24. The latest code on GitHub is far better than 0.17.4/0.18.0 in terms of hammering the server.
Been looking for a donate link for this specific instance as well.
The last update about donations said that they’re coming “soon”
Yeah looks like someone commented in that thread 8 days ago with no answer.
I’d donate as well, as this has become my main social media hub for now.
I assume the costs are not too bad yet or theDude would be quicker to get it setup?
I also want to say that I’d be fine donating some small amounts (like 25-50 bucks) without any book keeping or reports on costs for the short term. Longer term that stuff is nice to have but I understand even a trustworthy operation can take a bit to set that stuff up.
There is a pinned post on this community. It reads:
Firstly, the issue of donations. Since the inception of this instance, your most frequent request has been the ability to make contributions to support my initiative. While initially, I had never intended to accept donations, I’ve come to realize the value this brings in ensuring our platform’s sustainability. In response to your requests, within the next week, I will be introducing several options for those of you who wish to donate. I want to emphasize that these donations are entirely optional and will directly support our instance’s operational necessities - dedicated hardware, colocation fees, email services, and more.
How dare you call out my inability to read haha
I’m still curious about the actual price it runs to keep up, like if someone wanted to host an instance
I’m hoping for an Open Collective page like a lot of instances have done.
This is what I’m currently working towards. Waiting for a Fiscal host to accept our application!
