Just curious how much it would cost to run an instance? Maybe with 1,000-10,000 users? Also are there any hosts that ya’ll recommend? I am most familiar with Digital Ocean but DO may not be the best area to host an instance.

Apologizes if this is the wrong community to post this in. I am not sure where to find any info on pricing estimates

      One of the devs comments in that thread specifically notes the price. It’s 60 euros a month for the dedicated server this is running on. https://lemmy.ml/comment/577040

      Server pricing isn’t linear though so smaller instances wouldn’t necessarily be proportionally smaller in price.

      Yeah I think this is the best „benchmark „ we have. Seeing how active this instance is and hoe it still struggles to keep up despite the specs.

      It seems these specs are barely enough to run an instance the size of lemmy.ml
