We have a bunch more supporting sites for the instances that have been set up. All of these are contributor sites which means accounts on them are available to programming.dev contributors, donators, and/or admins. Vault Vault is a password manager running vaultwarden. It will be used to pass along login details when setting up accounts for users on the various contributor sites since registration isnt opened. The link for it is https://vault.

    As someone who can make some fairly well educated guesses about the programming.dev infra and effort, I find this entire project is kinda fascinating. Keep it up!!!

    Do you have any public info available on the operating costs (time + money)? How do you fund everything?

      Current estimation is around 200 dollars a month. All these small sites im spinning up barely add anything since the usage is negligible compared to something like lemmy. The production server takes up most of the costs out of that amount and then sendgrid costs some

      Donations cover ~ 41% of that currently

      In terms of time its been taking up most of my free time to set all this up + help develop sublinks

      The instance is currently funded entirely by @[email protected] and a handful of kind donators chipping in. If you (or anyone else) is interested in helping out, you can sponsor the project on Github here.
