Also look into donating to your instance maintainer. They literally pay for the server costs, so it's fair.

Yea, gotta send my maintainer some money.

Reminds me of that Southpark episode, where all the adults are gone.

"Provider, provider..."

Did you do it?

I have been wondering why my maintainer doesn't remind people to donate more often. I set up a small recurring donation, so I don't have to remember, but I think it'd be okay to regularly remind people.

Servers aren't cheap to run... And we're all still trying to run stuff as cheap as we can while still giving our users a good experience.

To be honest, it's quite cheap but it's very time-consuming
