Make sure you throw him a dollar or two on patreon if you can. We don't want this all to come crashing down around us or be loaded down by ads.

I was going to ask, is there a place where I can go in like pitch in some money or something to help with the server? I want to keep this place running and I want to do what I can to help

Ruud has a combined Patreon for lemmy.world and mastodon.world (he owns and maintains both). You can find that here: https://www.patreon.com/mastodonworld

I wish the only options weren’t to do a monthly subscription

It even takes less of a cut than Patreon too.

Thanks for the link! Came here looking for a way to help keep this place free (as in freedom) because I really want it to keep rolling :)
