Mastodon is operated, maintained, and moderated by different passionate individuals and organizations, often out of their own pocket. Check if your server accepts donations on its about page if you want to help out!

> are people hosting there own mastodon sites and that connected to the main hub?Something like that. Instances connect to each other by using a common protocol called the #Fediverse. They connect either by connecting to a federation server called a "relay"--which basically transfers new posts and stuff from one instance on the relay to all the other instances on the relay--or, because a user on that instance is following someone who is on another instance. It's a lil complicated.When it comes to finding other instances, there are multiple guides for this:https://mastodon.help/instances/enhttps://fediverse.party/en/portal/servers/ (my favorite out of this bunch)https://jointhefedi.com/https://joinmastodon.org/servers (the most popular page for finding #Fediverse instances, may be better than fediverse.party's but I haven't browsed it extensively)If you're feeling more adventurous, and would like to pick an instance based on its name, now many users or posts it has, or how many instances it connects to, or which software it runs, you may want to check out these comprehensive lists of all #Fediverse instances:https://fediverse.space/ (my favorite)https://fedidb.org/https://fedi.ninja/#FediTips

@Gargron It's really great that the main Mastodon Patreon has this option for those who can't spend more but still want to contribute.

@stux @Gargron there's a lot of "Well, actually..." In your replies and I just wanted to say I get what you mean.
