It's still tiny numbers in the scheme of things, but also quite a big number for a site that had ~30 users this time last month.

So how do we new users help keep kbin alive? What are the hosting costs and what do we need to do to stay adfree or at least prevent long-term enshittification now?

There is a link to buymeeacoffee.com on the About page at the bottom.

Right now, your main goal should be enjoying the site. Ernest has been getting quite a few coffee purchases lately, so I imagine he's financially ok for the moment. But what Ernest can't do is populate the site with content and community. That's where the kbeaners come in. So the main goal you should have right now is to enjoy yourself.
