Well there's about 5 to 10 people constantly working on these servers, so if they weren't volunteers, it would be a lot more... But yeah overall it's quite efficient so far.
Naturally, but that's sort of the magic of community-run initiatives. People give because they want to contribute, because it's about making something together, and not about being exploited.
It's just amazing what people can do when the central goal isn't for like 2 people to become billionaires at the end of the day.
Would you be able to give a further breakdown of the Lemmy associated costs?
I'm really curious to know what the current operational costs are for a Lemmy server. I was hoping to be able to do some very rough math to calculate monthly cost per user, but with these current numbers I have to include users from Mastodon and Calckey.
The Lemmy server is about 180 EUR/mo and the e-mail cost was around 70 EUR for Lemmy, because of the many new signups which require a few mails per user.
