I made a small donation, and if you like it here, I think you should (if you can) too.

I am one of many that have sought out alternatives to Reddit. I really like the feel of how this community works. I've not seen them push the need for support, but I'm sure they're feeling it. It's clear they've made changes in the past couple of days to help support the growth & load.

That said, servers and bandwidth aren't free, and they've seen a massive wave of influx.

Sidebar says: "Our instance is 100% user-funded - help us keep it running by donating."

I'm not affiliated with Beehaw in any way other than being part of the exodus from Reddit, and I like it here.

*This is my first actual non-comment post, so here's hoping I didn't mess this up.

I've thrown in about $40 total since I joined. I should do monthly but I'm trying to cut down on subscriptions since I have a bad habit of signing up for a bunch and forgetting to cancel. I'll try to make sure I actively donate regularly though as long as I'm using the instance. I appreciate the effort the admins have gone into making this instance and I want to do my part to help ease potential stress on the financial side at least
