Just out of curiosity, how much does it cost per month to run a Lemmy instance? Not that I'd want to do that myself, I'm just grateful for our admins that keep Lemmy up and running.

I'd certainly be interested to know for the sake of donations. I would gladly donate to keep the fediverse alive.

It varies greatly depending on your setup.

Lemmy.world's monthly expenses are around €1,200. Though that includes hosting more services that just Lemmy.

For comparison, it looks like £30 per month for lemmy.zip:

And lemmy.ca is around CAD$30 per month:

At one point Reddthat.com was considering moving to a bigger server that would cost A$150-200 per month:
