Thank you but money wouldn't help. (Unless you had like $100 to hire a specialist and figure out the federation problems.) Not to mention the main reason for switching is the amount of people on db0 compared to here (and we both essentially did the same thing, mainly piracy focused)
I'd be happy to donate $100 via crypto if it meant keeping the instance up.
I can also help troubleshoot federation problems although it's not my primary area of expertise... if there's some sanitized logs or something I can look at them...
So it sounds like money might help then? I could also pitch in a little, I don't mind giving back some if you're willing to maintain the instance. $100 is a pretty low bar to reach. If you are interested in maintaining this Lemmy, then perhaps spend a little time to plan out what resources you would need. Be it volunteer efforts, research, or cash. The community may well step up if you make a post detailing your needs.
Of course, it is entirely reasonable to discontinue the instance if it is too much of a headache or no longer what you prefer to do! I'm just pointing out that if you can present a clear concept of the help you need, you may find that it is available.
