I'm thinking about opening a #tootik merch store, because I desperately need winter shirts but also because I'd like to set up a "staging" instance for QA purposes ($5/mo) and collect some funds for work on PostgreSQL+Redis support and horizontal scaling ($$$/mo). Any recommendations other than https://www.spri.ng/?
I'm very glad to have helped. I'll hit you up natively via my tootik account tomorrow. My cert is on Lagrange on my laptop and I'm on my phone at the moment.
Hurray, I succeeded in building my own version of #tootik with no rate-limiting and a 500-character limit for posts! I would like to be able to put those things into some kind of configuration post editable by the server admin and then push that to the main git repo, but for now this works for me.
