You should more prominently ask for donations in any site update posts. The cost between a dedicated server and VPS is pretty big.

Meta community. Discuss about this lemmy instance or lemmy in general.
Yes I plan to make a site sticky soon
The server was getting do slow it's very likely it was dropping federation events
Will things that got dropped due to this be fetched retroactively?
I'm afraid not
Thanks for the upgrade! Why did you need a SMTP relay?
My provider sent me a nastygram and my new provider doesn't allow smtp at all
What country is the new host in?
Germany
Have a look at Contabo, they're very cheap and run by a small group of actual tech bros.
I own a dedicated server in Germany too there =)
Lol I just switched away from contabo because they're stealing too much cpu
Really?!
Can I ask what you migrated to?
I hope not strato xD
*Edit: watch out for Dutch hosts, they're very insidious with contracts and are not shy of sending collection agencies.
Probably to verify email addresses on signup.
How high is the monthly cost now?
It's a bit fuzzy as some stuff are shared but getting close to 100
I just upgraded my ko-fi subscription :)
Wait, you’re paying money to keep this up? Damn, appreciate that man! If I can miss some money after university ends (summer break), I’ll definitely donate some.
You think hosting is free? :D
Do you know if there is an issue with kbin federation? Neither my new account or new community here showing up over there on kbin.social and it’s been a few days.
There's a reported bug in 0.18 about it. Are you subscribed to it?
Thanks for keeping this place up! Best instance in the verse.
I can't see comments or replies from lemmy.world. is that normal?
it's not. I'm seeing plenty
