As the subject says. I dont think the server is active,and apart from the couple of donations (very grateful for you!) its not taking care of the monthly costs. I’m happy to hand over the server. Is someone interested?
Thanks to the contributors, another month of server costs got payed just now. You can see the reimbursements on the [opencollective](https://opencollective.com/lemmyfly) platform. The balance is empty now unfortunately. For next months, we do still need your help. Remember, it's only 11,- per month. That means 11 users that setup a recurring 1,- per month. Or 22 0,50 per month. Or 44 0,25 cents ! It would really help me if a lot more users would help out with a small recurring amount. I don't really want to sent out a beg-post every month. Hoping this message reaches you all - thank you !
The platform where we collect donations and pay our server costs from
Last months server costs was the first month payed for using donations: Thank you for that ! There is not enough balance for the next month(s) yet. If you are using this server to browse the Fediverse, could you please help out ? Just a euro or two per month, times many of you, would be more then enough ! The donations are help by the legal fiscal host Open Collective Europe - all reimbursements are fully transparent posted on the platform and payed out from there. Thank you again for your consideration 🙏
lemmyfly.org was offline shorty and now back up online using the lemmy and lemmy-ui versions 0.18.5
As you might understand, running the server costs real money. At the moment this comes down to +- 11,- EUR per month. I would appreciate it if those who use this server to browse the fediverse would help out in sharing these costs. If every member would help out with a tiny amount, it would already be enough. I've created an account on opencollective. Money donated will stay on their bank account, I will upload invoices expenses of the hosting provider, domain registrar to the platform so it is fully transparent on where the money is spent. Thanks a lot for helping out ! [https://opencollective.com/lemmyfly](https://opencollective.com/lemmyfly)

had some downtime, but back up with the latest versions. Let me know if you find anything missing/ not working
Ok that went less smooth, I had issues with restoring the backup. It's all back up now, with the backup version of last night around 10pm CET. We're now running on a Hetzner CX21.
I'm switching servers capable of more visitors. I'll be waiting until DNS have updated and use backup from that moment
I switched servers for better maintainability so nameservers around the world have to be updated to the new IP. If you are on the digitalocean nameservers you have access already, all other nameservers might take 47 hours
