I've seen other instances do this, so I figured I might as well too. Right now the instance is hosted on a relatively medium sized VPS with object storage. Lemmy uses very little resources, so I run some personal stuff on the server as well (like a screenshot hoster, blog, etc) but if I need to upgrade I can eventually.

VPS: $13.99

Object storage: as of right now it is $2.20 (and growing, slowly but surely)

I'm not opposed to donations, but it's not required. The biggest cost is likely going to be object storage more and more.

It is, indeed, a good idea to be prepared. An old friend used to say “I’m not planning to step in front of a bus, but one never knows.” :D

Thanks for setting up a way for us to chip in from time to time.

I made a separate announcement with the link for mobile users since the icon might not work in mobile, will pin that for a day. I also plan on making these monthly statements at least once a month sometime around the beginning of the month.
