When I joined u/Ruud had recently posted about getting to 1k users on this instance and was just upscaling the server. He said it was around $20 a month back then. I assume he has scaled it again since after seeing things slow and recover again. I know he has been putting a lot of effort into this.

I’m personally on a fixed income of limited means, but I am extremely grateful to Ruud, Kyle, Michelle, and the team, and all of you that are willing and able to throw in a few bucks to keep this thing going. Sincerely!
