Y'all are nuts! It hasn't even been a week since I raised the call for fundraising and we already have it done!

It was sitting at 99% all morning, so I kept refreshing every 10 minutes to post this!

Great success!

As promised, I plan to send the overflow to lemmy development once I open the next goal. I'll let you all know!

This pays the server bill for this site, and any excess is donated to the Lemmy developers as far as i'm aware

To be exact, server infra and a bit of buffer for unexpected costs or scaling

Smart. Far too many forums of old failed to keep a buffer and ended up dying when a temporary cost explosion happened. Thank you for your work o7

I've been sailing these choppy waters for a while. I know that funding takes time to ramp up. If you decide to ask for funding once the costs start eating into it, it's too late.
