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
I think it’s also important to think about how this doesn’t account for the admin’s time (I know not the point of the question). Since yes donations aren’t necessary for the server, but I want to support the admins who are putting in the work to improve and move Lemmy forward. That’s why I donated at least.
