I am already hosting the AI Horde so I'm good with infrastructure. And since lemmy provided an ansible playbook which is my expertise, I thought it would be easy. And it was, even with my using my own loadbalancer solution instead of nginx.
I already had a server I wasn't using much for the AI Horde so I repurposed it. The DB physical I have is really good so I just made it share the DB for lemmy as well.
I pay for it from the same budget which runs on donations. I put a Kofi link on the sidebar and already covered so much of the costs that I sent some of the overflow to lemmy development

I was hoping for something like that the other day. Makes me happy to see it happening! Thank you :)

Word to the wise, Lemmy devs prefer liberapay over patreon and opencollective.
-
Do they explain why?
-
Iirc, liberapay take a 0% cut.

I like that open collective has public auditing though, which I think is important for FOSS projects.
-
You may well be correct, I simply read a comment that said they prefer Liberapay.
