@FrostedSiren Can I maybe help? Or do you use masto.host?
@FrostedSiren I see! In that case you could perhaps upgrade the package?
@stux I make $1200 Canadian dollars a month.
In order to cover the current server load, I would have to upgrade to the £89 plan.
Do you have any idea how terrifying that amount of money is? I have rent to pay and I'm my mother's legal guardian.
@FrostedSiren I totally get that! At the moment I earn about €800 a month and this server costs over €500
I do know how it feels trust me!♥️
@stux Holy crap on a cracker. O.o
@FrostedSiren I know It started out far more slowly but we’re now just over a year old. But it also brings huge costs with it♥️
@stux I don't even know what to do. Other than cry. And drink.
@FrostedSiren Don’t, close signups for now🙂
How many active at the moment? I’m gonna think with you on this♥️
@stux i had to close signups.
My hosting plan estimates it can handle somewhere around 5% of the current users.
@stux We've already exceeded that.
In 45 minutes.
@FrostedSiren Hmm.. I see!
Are you able to setup your own server? So with a source code install? That way you can rent a 40,- VPS or even dedicated and set it up there so you can expand more easily and for a better price
@stux I am technologically illiterate at this level of stuff. That's why I had to pay for a managed server. I tried a manual host and couldn't even get the thing to start.
@FrostedSiren I see♥️ For me it was also trail and error the first few times but it worked
Managed hosted is okay but it can get into costs even more quickly than a stand alone sever I think
@stux Yeah. I noticed.
@FrostedSiren @stux we're sorry
@stux @FrostedSiren stux is the kindest, LOF YU BOTH.
