Comment on How do you fund your lemmy instance?

Just to give you an idea why i need to know this. I'm very interested in launching lemmy instance i love this software, and of course i have no problem even paying $30 for hosting per month. But i'm looking for the future when my instance is growing and will need more computing power, so at least something small to help me cover the costs of the server.

A a $5/month VPS from DO/Vultr/Linode/etc (1 vCPU, 1GB RAM, 20/25GB SSD) should be good for quite a while! I have one from Vultr and I run multiple things in there, including lemmy.pt, and haven't ran into any resource issues. The instance is small, but Lemmy doesn't take up more than 350MB (server, UI, postgres, pict-rs and email relay), and CPU basically never goes beyond 20% (idles at 5/10).
