I imagine that with the influx of new users, instances paid by volunteers will be stretched. Some I imagine are creating instances, to spread out the load, but some of us cannot / don’t want to create and manage instances. For these efforts to be successful I imagine that monetary support would be helpful.
Is there a way to support instances / development?
Multiple users have mentioned this for supporting kbin development: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kbin
But I don’t know how to verify whether this is legit. You should probably contact the developer directly: https://kbin.social/u/ernest
