How much money does Lemmy.ml need to temporarily boost their servers? (lemmy.ml)

With forewarning about a huge influx of users, you know Lemmy.ml will go down. Even if people go to https://join-lemmy.org/instances and disperse among the great instances there, the servers will go down.

Ruqqus had this issue too. Every time there was a mass exodus from Reddit, Ruqqus would go down, and hardly reap the rewards.

Even if it's not sustainable, just for one month, I'd like to see Lemmy.ml drastically boost their server power. If we can raise money as a community, what kind of server could we get for 100$? 500$? 1,000$?

This is why I also subscribe to the communities on mastodon just in case

can you interact with mastodon on here? sorry if it's a stupid question, i am new to the whole fediverse thing.

Yes you can :) There are no stupid question, we're not accostumed to these kind of structures for social networks so it's very normal to have them. I can suggest some video like this to understand better how federation works

Can you post a video or written guide that shows me [a] how to actually see lemmy content inside mastodon and [b] how to see mastodon content inside lemmy?

Explainer videos are good, but I want to see screenshots of the UI and step-by-step instructions.

~~Speaking about communicating with lemmy from mastodon how do you know how lemmy and mastodon use authentication for creating account?~~

Edit: the more i am learning the more my question above might not make sense.

Currently, I believe Mastodon/Misskey/Calckey/Akkoma/Friendica users can post and reply to Lemmy groups/communities. There doesn't seem to be a way to follow them from Lemmy, though.

I think you might be able to follow Friendica groups, though.

And kbin and Lemmy have a lot of interoperability.
