I just saw their financials. For May, their server costs were about $600, including their massive Mastodon server.

Not a negligible expense, but easily recoverable from the 10k+ active users

Any chance you could say where you found their financials? I’ve been fruitlessly searching for them for the last week.

I just now noticed that these numbers are just for Mastodon.world, before they spun up Lemmy.world. But I also remember one of the bigger isntances posting about their massive server upgrade, and it was very much in line with these figures.

ETA: There's another blog post there with server specs: https://blog.mastodon.world/welcome-lemmy-world
