Hey folks!

Thank you for checking out my GitHub Sponsors page! I am responsible for the infrastructure of https://lemm.ee, which is an instance of Lemmy, an open source link aggregator.

You are probably here because you're interested in sponsoring the running of the instance.

Your support is greatly appreciated! You can sponsor with any amount you choose, and both one-time and recurring sponsorships are available.

Any sponsors will have not just my gratitude, but implicitly the gratitude of all lemm.ee users, as you will be directly responsible for enabling the continued existence of the instance!

Current lemm.ee infrastructure

For anybody curious, this is what the lemm.ee infrastructure looks like right now:

• Cloudflare for DNS (and all the Cloudflare protections)
• Load balancer
• 2+ servers for handling Lemmy HTTP traffic (scaled up and down as necessary)
• 1+ servers for handling outgoing federation (scaled up and down as necessarsy)
• 1 server for handling Lemmy scheduled tasks
• 1 server for image upload software pict-rs
• 1 relatively beefy dedicated server for our Postgres database
• 1 server for monitoring with openobserve
• Backblaze object storage for uploaded media
• Terraform cloud for infrastructure orchestration
• Postmark for handling e-mail to users

Why GitHub sponsors instead of alternatives?

Unlike most other similar platforms, if you're sending money as a regular user (not as an organization), then GitHub will take 0% fee.
