Question triggered by the other post about instances shutting down due to costs

Summary of the answers:

  • lowest number so far: lemmy.ml with 0.03€ per user per month
  • a few others (feddit.uk, lemmy.zip) have around 0.11$ per user per month
  • obviously single user instance have higher costs

    ¥1590/month.

    Rough $11/month in freedom dollars. That’s not bad!

    Still pricey for a solo use. What is your use cases? Lurking or a frequent poster?

      I probably post frequently.

      File servers and multiple BOTs are also running.

      It may be a little expensive, but it is a typical amount of money for a VPS that runs Mastodon somewhat comfortably in Japan.

      Yea that seems pretty high. I have a solo pixelfed server that runs around $5 / month. It doesn’t get a lot of use though
