Reddthat - Official Funding and Future Plans (Updated: 2024-03-20)

Hello! It seems you have made it to our donation post.

Thankyou

We created Reddthat for the purposes of creating a community, that can be run by the community. We did not want it to be something that is moderated, administered and funded by 1 or 2 people.

Background

In one of very first posts titled "Welcome one and all" we talked about what our short term and long term goals are.
In 7 days since starting, we have already federated with over 700 difference instances, have 24 different communities and over 250 users that have contributed over 550 comments. So I think we've definitely achieved our short term goals, and I thought this was going to take closer to 3 months to get these types of numbers!

We would like to first off thank everyone for being here, subscribing to our communities and calling Reddthat home!

Current Plans:

• Create our own production Lemmy builds with cherry picked commits to help with the long load times.
• In April 2025 we are renewing our server hosting for the next 12 months. At that point in time we will evaluate if we can scale down to a more cost effective instance.

Annual Costings:

Our current costs are

• Domain: 15 Euro (~$25 AUD)
• Server: $897.60 Usd (~$1365 AUD)
• EU Server: 39 Euro (~$64 AUD)
• Wasabi Object Storage: $72 Usd (~$111 AUD)
• Total: ~1565 AUD per year (~$130.42/month)

That's our goal. That is the number we need to achieve in funding to keep us going for another year.

Cheers,
Tiff
