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$?

And may be the bandwidth. Serve thousands and thousands need at minimum 1gbps.

Its mostly text so bandwidth shouldnt be a problem.
