I've been here a while, and I appreciate the community and the defed/hiding list.
I also know programming.dev contributes to upstream Lemmy repos.

I saw another post about another instances funding.
Which reminded me....

Is programming.dev on track for funding?
Need some more donations?
Is there a runway?

$1500/year sounds an awful lot for a site that barely receives any updates even from the public.

What efforts are being developed to lower operational costs?
