PieFed user surge continues! š
-
Seems like a nice occasion for a reminder that this stuff is all made and run on a volunteer basis. There are many ways to contribute, but the easiest by far is by donating a little bit of money on a regular basis! Donāt be deterred by feeling you have to give a lot - if a lot of people give a little thatās much better. So give a little!
I use Liberapay, but patreon and ko-fi links are available under the āDonateā menu entry at piefed.social. The average LiberaPay contributor gives less than a dollar per weekāwhich is awesome.
Alternatively, if youāre on another instance, consider giving a little bit to your instance to help keep it running! Itās all running on love and goodwill, and it works precisely because people like you decide itās worth contributing.

A couple of successful Reddit posts. This last jump was from r/BuyFromEU.

scalloped growth
Sounds tasty and cancerous at the same time.

I really love that youāre building a South African instance!
As much as the influx of Europeans to the fediverse is lovely to see, the European/North American bias here is really striking. Thatās of course not a problem of too many Europeans, but rather not enough other people.
Thanks, itās quite fun to setup and run an instance and helping the community grow.
Hopefully I can get a bunch of South African and Africans to join my instance.But anyone is welcome.

We need some new (a couple) of general-use instances to help direct this traffic! Piefed.social will help you and redirect traffic to you.
Iām working on getting https://nord.pub online!(rebrand from experimental nord.red) Well, it is online but I wanted proper HA, Backups, and some curated Topics.
Hosted in the Nordics and committed to not being dependent on US tech. (using Hetzner Finland and BunnyCDN)

Youāre going for a general use instance?

Youāre going for a general use instance?
Yeah, general use with somewhat if a focus on the Nordics āmarketā, but Iām not planning on launching competing communities against anything existing.

Sure, but Iām more thinking about increasing server spread across Piefed rather than specific communities as such.

Itās absolutely worth it to give to the Piefed project for how much effort these folks put in. If I were a developer Iād contribute that way, too.
