Yeah I'm with mcarlton. Short of being brutally honest and passing the digital hat around saying "hey all, glad you like the server. If you can chip in, we can keep this going and possibly expand it for more space."
You don't have to hard-sell them, likely, but you can also dangle the carrot of more content, as well as the stick of strongly implying not chipping in for hosting fees is going to cause existing content to go away as you downsize.
But, again, zero legal way to properly monetize a Jellyfin server. Think more lemonade stand than food truck when thinking of ways to recoup hosting costs.
