Instance admins, how much does it cost you to run your instance? How much does that represent per active user?

submitted by Blaze edited

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

If you are interested, there is !linux@programming.dev and !opensource@programming.dev for linux and open source communities which are not on .ml nor .world

Thanks! I like programming.dev and will participate in those more now (however I don't have a problem with Linux @lemmy.ml. I believe the ban heaviness of lemmy.ml is politically motivated, but that doesn't effect Linux content much.

Until you mention that you don't mind select proprietary packages or drivers.

Naw. I'm just stretching the thought.

Thought process was not FOSS = not communal = capitalism.
