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

    ive purposefully stood up my instance in a production, scalable environment.

    i make my costs public on the https://moist.catsweat.com/faq page.

    currently running ~1.60/day = 50$/month…

    so far about $0.50/per user/month or $1.25/active user/month which should move downward until i hit resource limits and have to scale infrastructure.
