Thanks to all donations, we've been able to solve all issues caused by the sudden growth (100 to 117000 users in 3 weeks) by:
- Getting a new server and migrating to it
- Getting a stable mail service
- Getting media storage moved to Wasabi

In my opinion, mastodon.world has been running stable and responsive for over a week now. Time to start tweaking to try get it even more responsive.

If you see any issues, let me know.

@ruud : Appreciate all your efforts. I had to roundabout donate (since I don't have accounts on your payment choices), so still hoping for a PayPal option, too.

Any plans to cap the # of users here, or just letting it grow?

@ImaBMe OpenCollective offers PayPal as payment option?

I'll just let it grow some more, as long as the hardware and team can handle it..
