I asked about this.
Around ~180 euros a month for the server they were renting to run this Lemmy instance. Anybody can host though and any member of a Lemmy can see content and interconnect with other instances.
I was looking into potentially hosting my own Lemmy for my friends and I because the cost would be more manageable.
I'd imagine if people started doing that it would decentralize the costs and the administrative overhead.
Yep, I run my own instance for family and friends on my home server. It's great because it means it's fast as, and doesn't rely on another 3-rd party site staying alive. (though I guess I have to remain alive ๐)
I mean you definitely should try to remain alive as long as possible. However by the time that becomes a problem I'm sure paid Lemmy instances will be a commodity at that point.
