Question triggered by the other post about instances shutting down due to costs

Summary of the answers:

lowest number so far: lemmy.ml with 0.03€ per user per month
a few others (feddit.uk, lemmy.zip) have around 0.11$ per user per month

I have heard it is ban heavy, but it is still quite active in the memes and the Linux communities, and I enjoy both.

If you are interested, there is !linux@programming.dev and !opensource@programming.dev for linux and open source communities which are not on .ml nor .world

Thanks! I like programming.dev and will participate in those more now (however I don't have a problem with Linux @lemmy.ml. I believe the ban heaviness of lemmy.ml is politically motivated, but that doesn't effect Linux content much.
