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

Lemmy.zip stats can be found here: Lemmy.zip

Our Admin gives us a monthly report. We are at 54$ while visitor count, rewlquest count can be seen at the report.

$54/504, so around $0.11 per user

Yes about 0.10$ per user. But we know only a few pay a bit more. Look at the open collective link on the post

There are additional costs that aren't factored in (although they're not specifically lemmy, and I pay for them myself rather than use donations) such as a very cheap vps for our status.lemmy.zip page and i got a 3 year deal for an external email provider for less than some email providers wanted a month.

Our server is the same one feddit.uk use (a hetzner auction server) although lemmy.zips I think was a touch more expensive per month. But it's got a lot of room for growth.

Also we now host all our backups offside too, which adds a little on top. I'll probably cover this in the next server update.

This is the route I'd recommend as you get superb specs for not much more than you'd be paying through the normal hosting, which, itself, is already very reasonable.
