how much does your mastadon instance cost per month? what do you expect for lemmy?

    I'm using Linode, and their prices are publicly available.

    For Mastodon, I'm using the Linode 4 GB while the Lemmy server runs on the Linode 2 GB option. Both are under the Shared CPU pricing -- not dedicated.

    thanks for all of the information you've shared in this thread.

    i was put off by the cost and effort involved in maintaining a mastadon instance when i looked into that a while back, but i'm glad to hear that lemmy could be cheaper.
