  1. Server providers are increasing their prices because of higher hardware and energy costs (RAM and SSD prices have jumped by up to 500% since 2025, partly due to the rise of AI). If you're using a free or donation-based Mastodon server, remember that hosting costs are going up. Support your instance if you can.
