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
  • SirDerpy@lemmy.worldEnglish

    For others, the number is 8 “monthly active users”.

    As this instance is partially operating on “free” hardware, it’s unlikely one can host an instance for much cheaper.
