That's interesting to know the price per user is silver 50¢ per month, I wonder what other instances like beeaw, lemmy.world, etc. are at?

Either way, I hope more people donate to help keep costs manageable, especially reoccurring donations.

Also, thank you so much for the work you've done and continue to do with this, there's no where else in the fediverse I'd rather be than here!

Most people aren't running on AWS, and once we move off of it, our costs will come way down. We're just seeing the reality of a tiny instance for a few people that grew rapidly in a way we didn't see coming. We didn't implement things initially with this scale in mind :)

Out of curiosity, what are most people using currently? I've been really interested in getting involved with the tech behind Lemmy and how to improve it for instance admins.
