How much money does Lemmy.ml need to temporarily boost their servers? (lemmy.ml)

With forewarning about a huge influx of users, you know Lemmy.ml will go down. Even if people go to https://join-lemmy.org/instances and disperse among the great instances there, the servers will go down.

Ruqqus had this issue too. Every time there was a mass exodus from Reddit, Ruqqus would go down, and hardly reap the rewards.

Even if it's not sustainable, just for one month, I'd like to see Lemmy.ml drastically boost their server power. If we can raise money as a community, what kind of server could we get for 100$? 500$? 1,000$?

Its the one for 30 euros, Im not seeing any vps for 112. Maybe thats a different type of vps?

Nowadays doesn't even make any sense to use servers. Everyone already have decent computers and/or smartphones able to host their own content (text) and their friends content. Doesn't require much. Why not create something better? We already have decentralized finance but we still using centralized social networks. How's this possible?!

What if there was something like lemmy, but p2p, similar to how peertube works. And for dead content it could fallback to a server?
