Lemmy is going to be in the "let's see how this works" period for a while
A lot of admins have patreon accounts set up for donations.
My instance has a thread for costings/donations, we're months ahead.
Per person, it's honestly crazy cheap.

Awesome, that's the first actual number figure I've seen for hosting costs. Mind if I ask how many users that is? I've no concept of 'how much is suitable' - I realise that things will change as Lemmy scales, but I've no idea whether we're talking a couple of quid a year per user at the moment, or per month, or what.
Interesting. What are the traffic / image storage demands for your instance?
When you're not looking to make a massive profit things get crazy affordable.
