I host a Lemmy.world web UI at https://lemminator.netlify.app/ on Netlify’s free tier. Due to intense usage, I got an e-mail warning me that 75% of my functions allowance has been depleted:
I assume that when this counter hits 100%, people who use it will be locked out until the bill cycle resets. Although instance admins can self-host Lemminator, it’s still missing a few features like post creation and registration that admins might consider essential.
What do I do? Are there any other free Netlify-like services where I wouldn’t run into this usage limit?
Pay them?
the horror!
Joking aside, I’m already donating the labor involved to create an alternative web UI. That’s as far as I’m willing to go for this project.
