Instance info

This is an NYC-based instance for transit and urbanism nerds. We're NYC-leaning but welcome anyone who cares about building better cities.

Funding

I am currently funding this myself, and can do so because I am privileged and my job pays well. As the server grows, I'll start something to cover scaling costs.
