  Nice work. Good thing we can have communities migrated now.

  I stopped self-hosting stuff that’s for the family. In case something happens to me, no way my wife is going to keep this stuff running. And the kids are too young. So they would lose everything.

  Family stuff goes in managed solutions (like Proton). Personal and public stuff is selfhosted.

  Just something to consider.

  We have done before, but don’t do that often, so we don’t bother users too much. But we might do again soon, and maybe do a monthly post on the mastodons/sharkeys etc

  Sending e-mail to info at lemmy dot world would be the best option. The team will pick that up.

  (By the way: 2 EUR per year would be enough if every active user would donate that but they don’t)

  For lemmy.world / mastodon.world including some of the smaller instances we host, it’s like 0,06 euro per active user per month. If every active user would pay 2 Euro per year that would be enough to cover hosting costs. If every active user would pay 1 euro per month, I could quit my dayjob and focus on the Fediverse fulltime.

  (Sidenote: Stux and I created the non-profit Fedihosting Foundation which owns lemmy.world … but finances are still separate for his and my instances)

  I’ll try to install the BookFace UI on friendica.world. Also I’ve started a Friendica manual at help.friendica.onl but it needs to get content.

  This is for the Lemmy.World server (just the physical box, not the related VMs). Around 12TB last month. Image

  Thanks, I sent them an e-mail.
