Hello! It seems you have made it to our donation post.
Thankyou
We created Reddthat for the purposes of creating a community, that can be run by the community. We did not want it to be something that is moderated, administered and funded by 1 or 2 people.

Background
In one of very first posts titled “Welcome one and all” we talked about what our short term and long term goals are.
In the last 2 years we have carved out a place for all of us to be heard and enjoy. Images, videos, comments however we communicate, I’m thankful of everyone who calls Reddthat home. Over 5000 users is something I’d never thought possible.
You are what makes Reddthat worth coming back too.

Current Plans & Descriptions
- Keep the server running smoothly!
- Our S3 storage is growing and will only continue to grow.
- Hopefully we can drop the EU Server which acts as a proxy for LW traffic now that Parallel Sending might be possible
- We currently are paying slightly more for our main server than we should, and I’ll keep an eye out for a new and better deal.
Annual Costings:
Our current costs are
- Domain: 15 Euro (~$26 AUD)
- Server: $1080 AUD
- EU Server: 39 Euro (~$70 AUD)
- Wasabi Object Storage: $180 Usd (~$290 AUD)
- Total: ~1456 AUD per year (~$122/month)
That’s our goal. That is the number we need to achieve in funding to keep us going for another year.
Cheers,
Tiff

The eu server is a tiny batching proxy which is for accepting all of Lemmy World’s activities.
I’ve talked about in my a couple previous updates. Lemmy (used to) send all activities sequentially, and because LW was in EU and we are in AU the network latency was 200-300ms depending on routing and response time. This meant that if LW created more than 3 requests per second we wouldn’t be able to process them fast enough and would eventually fall behind. Which is exactly what happened. At one point we were up to 7 days behind from LW.
The batcher/queue service accepts 100 activities and then forwards them to our server. And because it takes next to no time at all to process them we easily caught up with LW.
The main server is where everything runs.
