PieFed.co.za is hosted in Germany
It’s kinda geared towards South Africans, but it’ll be a place where anyone is welcome.
I still need to do some housekeeping though. -

It seems people stuck around after to a pretty exceptional degree after the previous surge in June last year, when the number of active users was multiplied by four within a little more than a month. Hopefully the same will be true this time around!
Also curious what’s next for this graph. Doesn’t really seem to be slowing down.

No, I need to figure that out. You’re welcome to be one.

Thank you for the offer, but I don’t have the sysadmin skills, and I already have a bit too much on my plate as you can guess

As much as the influx of Europeans to the fediverse is lovely to see, the European/North American bias here is really striking. That’s of course not a problem of too many Europeans, but rather not enough other people.

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! Don’t be deterred by feeling you have to give a lot - if a lot of people give a little that’s much better. So give a little!
I use Liberapay, but patreon and ko-fi links are available under the “Donate” menu entry at piefed.social. The average LiberaPay contributor gives less than a dollar per week—which is awesome.
Alternatively, if you’re on another instance, consider giving a little bit to your instance to help keep it running! It’s all running on love and goodwill, and it works precisely because people like you decide it’s worth contributing.
