I think now is a great time to remind everyone, like sync's developer, Lemmy's developers need to be paid too! The amount of time all the devs put into making lemmy exist, in my opinion, should be worth some of your money. If you can afford it, donating to the people who develop lemmy and/or the people keeping your home instance up will accelerate the incredible growth of lemmy!
Pretty sure my region is where my Google account is set up rather than my instance, and I'm at the upper end of the prices I saw. Thanks for the head start in the wrong direction though.
