Instance admins, how much does it cost you to run your instance? How much does that represent per active user? (feddit.org)

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

Disabling uploads might be an option. You probably just need to announce it to the people beforehand, but I see most of the people using image links from other sites, so that might not be an issue.

It's a major downside to my own users though. I wish I could disable uploads for everyone else :P
