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!
And it’s even crazier that this instance was only created like 10 days ago!
In a few years there’ll be more users than atoms!
I’m an old vet of 9 days on midwest.social
I’ve been here for like 6 days and feel like an old fossil with how quickly things are growing and changing!
Good luck, I sense more influx inbound!
Heck yeah let’s party!
8.56k
That means the current rate is around 0.275k per hour.
It will break 10k in the next 6 hours, and this is only getting started.
