Sorry if this has seen asked - I couldn’t find anything with Google. How do servers of this size pay the costs for hosting? Are they self hosted?

Thanks!

My Lemmy instance costs less than $20 per month. I'm happy to fork that amount over because I think it's a fun hobby.

Ours costs significantly more than that!

How much is it, if you don't mind sharing?

[-] Veraticus@lib.lgbt 8 points 1 year ago

Well yours is much bigger I assume! I think we’re only up to about a hundred total users and average concurrency is obviously close to zero requests per second.

[-] ada 11 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that's what we were like before the reddit migration, but because we had already been up and running for months by that point, we ended up absorbing a lot of users when they happened

Are you guys paying for the influx of users out of your pockets? Is there anything we can do as users?

[-] ada 9 points 1 year ago

Well, we have a ko-fi setup, but ultimately, we're paying for it out of our pockets, yeah. This and blahaj.zone

Very new to Lemmy, what's a ko-fi setup?

[-] claymore 3 points 1 year ago

ko-fi is just a site where people can give money to a person or entity

[-] Veraticus@lib.lgbt 5 points 1 year ago

Awesome! Well I'm a big fan of y'all, keep it up 💜
