Hello. I’m new to mastadon. I am hosting it on a vps server with 4GB RAM and about 200GB storage for 30$/month which is definitely high for my budget. Also I have to pay for my domain about an yearly 15$/year. Is there any way through which I can make some dollars with mastodon just overcome this budget, eg. Ads implementation, paid boosting of toots, or anything… Please help 😦

    Yep, social.coop is an example. And paying for things once you are using them reasonably heavily is fair game, as long as all costs are made clear at the start and there are lots of alternatives, which is something decentralised platforms benefit from. This is in contrast to pay-to-win or hidden freemium costs.
