There are only 15 devrant++ users :(

I remember times where the list contained so many people that it took very long to count the number of devrant++ users

    That sounds too optimistic

    exclusive black app theme omg

    2$ / month means they're covering the hosting at 30$ / month
    at least it's not discord with all the annoying emojis always punching you in the face

    @jestdotty don’t forget forget pixel avatars and binary user scores

    it’s only pixelated social network on this planet

    @jestdotty i doubt that 30$/month (minus whatever fees from google/apple) covers the costs of hosting devrant

    @j0n4s apple fee 8,25 per month, play store is only for registration and then it's free
    leaves $21,75 for vps/db/domain
    Definitely doable for so few users

    @devRancid i think both apple and google take 30% for in app purchases like this? And I'd also say that $20 dollar can be enough to host a platform like this,

    but I kind of doubt it that devrant is this optimized and a large part of the cost is probably storage of all the images that got uploaded over the last few years.

    It's currently bugged, a good number of ++ subs don't show (eg me), dfox is working on it

    @atheist thanks the comment from dfox really sounds promising, I hope the community can continue hosting devrant

    @j0n4s yup same, there's just the inevitable "cost" problem and that's a hard one to solve...

    @j0n4s Maybe that's because you can't buy devrant-branded croissant-flavoured condoms in the swag store.

    we're a small community over-all and have been for some time.

    beats being one of those dev-oriented forums masquarading as stackoverflow clones while being spammed to shit with poor copypastas of LLM-written ML articles by subcontinental devs.
