I’d like to thank the admins for being so open and direct about the issues that they’re facing.

The main key metric for server load for something like Lemmy is CCU (concurrent users). That’s unfortunately not provided, but a good rule of thumb is that it’s going to be around 1-2% of DAU. That’s not provided either but MAU is, and DAU is typically going to be 10-50% of MAU. So with a MAU of 2700, we’d expect a DAU of around 600, and a CCU of at most 12 or so users. That’s easily achievable with a single 10€ VPS, though it definitely doesn’t have much headroom.
You could easily serve that workload on a
t2.microinstance which is around $10/mo - a far cry from the $27,000 quoted in the image.
