Thanks, I might send an email later.

By the way: 2 EUR per year would be enough if every active user would donate that but they don’t

Indeed. Have you thought about promoting this in an announcement post?

We have done before, but don't do that often, so we don't bother users too much. But we might do again soon, and maybe do a monthly post on the mastodons/sharkeys etc

Sounds good. db0 started to add flairs, including one for donators, maybe that's something you can consider as well:
