4 hours to post this?

DDOS? Cloudflare is supposed to stop that. I see a lot of cloudflare errors.

lemmy world status shows 292 instances in the past 8 days! Elevated response times and system resources repeated endlessly.

Insufficient RAM and CPU are my main suspicion due to explosive growth. Parts aren't cheap but are needed.

How can we help with funding?

Subscriptions? - NO. This is not a commercial endeavour.

Donations? - Maybe. One off donations with no further commitment. Obviously, donate again if you want to.

Go Fund Me? - Possible but who sets it up. Possible fraud?
