Wish I had some money. But it would also be kinda nice to see how much money they need to fulfill the server costs, while also showing us how much they already get.

I do remember that blahaj zone is rather expensive with some thousands per month I think.

Would be nice to have some transparency about this, kinda like catbox does it on their homepage

If I recall correctly, that cost was a large blowout due to an expensive provider, and blahaj has now migrated to a provider that has more reasonable fees.

[-] Smorty 19 points 3 weeks ago

Do we have a numeric value on how expensive it is currently?
I am asking because of curiosity, but also because I would like to host my own at some point, and it would give me some insight.

Also: hiiii!!1!11 from blahaj zone!!! <3
Idk why, seeing someone from my instance always makes me feel so comfy, like woah it's like we are neighbours!! even though we are really not, but I like to imagine

I have a quite small instance costing me $223 per year. I outline this and the current donations on my opencollective. https://opencollective.com/thelemmyclub

But I can cover these costs myself so I don't push it much. If we ever grow much I'll probably stop allowing signups, don't have time to run a bigger instance, and the money could begin to be an issue too.

Wikipedia style: if everybody who visited gave X we would be funded for 1.5 years.

They mentioned it back some months ago, maybe you can still find it in c/main.

PayPal only :(

They shadowbanned me for some reason.
Every fucking payment (if they even allow guest payment):

By the way, great job centering that bottom text.

Oh, sorry.

(see username)

[-] butter@midwest.social 6 points 3 weeks ago

Time to upvote and not donate.

[-] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 3 weeks ago

Now this is where my screenshot of the finished payment would go!

That is, if Ii had money!

[-] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

Agreed.

[-] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

I would if I had extra money, even if I did though the big question would be which one should I donate to?

[-] sag@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

Your instance.

[-] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Which instance? I'm on many of them.

(Some are Mastodon, those ones have more content than shown in search but microblog content isn't visible to Lemmy)
