Hi. As you may know, I’ve opened the instance about 12 days ago. Right now, the instance is ranked 6th out of hundreds of instances.
We’re now using 4 vCPU and 16GB RAM server for 38€ which is very cheap (Not that cheap anymore. We’re using dedicated 16 CPU, 48GB RAM server for 160€). But we need donations to continue uploading media or even to increase the limit and move to a better server against instant load. Also we transfered 5TB of media only in 12 days 🤷♂️ Thanks to Cloudflare, this didn’t cause much trouble to us.
If you want to donate, here’s donation platforms we use:

- Ripple (XRP): rJRiM1spu2s1vQUWLWuBAKdCXejRS4wjvi

Just subbed on Patreon! Question, are you holding off on upgrading the instance because of the issues with the search?
Thank you! I was waiting for captcha. But I’ll upgrade today.
My instance admins upgraded and enabled application while they wait for the captcha. It’s not ideal, but it will help keep the bot horde at bay for a bit
