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$?

Everyone already have decent computers and/or smartphones able to host their own content (text) and their friends content

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