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?

Thanks.

I would like to have some help with server and maintenance costs. Currently the site costs about $2,100 USD a year to run, but a large portion of that was for the initial domain name purchase which was around $580 USD.

Thankfully we've grown pretty slowly so it hasn't cost so much so far, but it will begin to add up soon. @snowe2010

@snowe2010's goal is to earn $200 per month

58% towards $200 per month goal

Can only sponsor through GitHub?

yes sorry, I have a goal to get set up with an open sponsor, but just haven't. Currently in regards to funding I am $1000 short for the last year, so I definitely need to get the open sponsor set up because lots of people are only willing to fund that way (which I completely understand). And that's just for base infrastructure. I would like to pay the admins as well.
