  So does .CA

  It’s one of the advantages of the being a lot of sys admins and Linux users in this community.

  You can run Lemmy pretty comfortably on used servers.

    I’m running mine on a ~$30/year VPS. It’s a small instance (just me) but it federates with all the major instances which means it still does a bunch of work (since it has to handle incoming posts and comments from federated servers).

    For a medium-sized instance, I imagine you could get pretty far with a single <$100/month dedicated server from Hetzner or a similar provider.

      That seems quite cheap, was it a discount? I can’t find a 33$ yearly plan on their website

        Yeah, a Black Friday sale.

        They do have some deals always available, but the specs aren’t as good as the Black Friday ones: greencloudvps.com/billing/store/budget-kvm-sale

        RackNerd also have some deals that are always available on their site. .

  Maybe it changed, but IIRC they are using Hetzner

  I run lemmy.world on a VPS at Hetzner.

  Their infrastructure expenses seem to also suggest VPS

    I am under the impression it’s dedicated hardware not a VPS, but it’s leased from Hetzner they don’t maintain the hardware themselves.
