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
minus-square鴉河雛@PieFed@pf.korako.melinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20·13 days agoMastodon is used by me alone and costs ¥1590/month. Misskey is free with OCI for less than 5 people. PieFed is ¥491/month. Lemmy is the biggest server in Japan, but I host it at home because it has about 5 MAUs. (Unfortunately, it is not popular in Japan.) Media is R2, but it is still within the limits of no billing.
minus-squareByteOnBikes@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·13 days ago ¥1590/month. Rough $11/month in freedom dollars. That’s not bad! Still pricey for a solo use. What is your use cases? Lurking or a frequent poster?
minus-square鴉河雛@PieFed@pf.korako.melinkfedilinkarrow-up5·13 days agoI probably post frequently. File servers and multiple BOTs are also running. It may be a little expensive, but it is a typical amount of money for a VPS that runs Mastodon somewhat comfortably in Japan. SAKURA internet VPS ※Sorry, I’m using machine translation.

minus-squarewesley@yall.theatl.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·13 days agoYea that seems pretty high. I have a solo pixelfed server that runs around $5 / month. It doesn’t get a lot of use though
