    To be fair, Reddit is a lot bigger than any Lemmy instance, and Lemmy instances have the benefit of being decentralised, so the load is on many different servers owned by different people as opposed to one group of servers owned by one company.

      Basically. I wouldn’t be surprised if, when Lemmy reach 55 million users, the total cost of the Fediverse is around 200k$ or more.
