Personal note: 5K a month is absolutely absurd for 17 MAU. lemmy.world does that at 1/10 the cost. /0 could probably handle it as is, or maybe with some small increases. Likewise, we have enough donations to cover our infra costs since day 0, and I’m terrible at outreach! I don’t know what they’re hosting on, but this also sounds self-inflicted to some extent.

.zip instances are always great, couldn’t let this one slip
I assume yours is run by the same person behind lemmy.zip?
Yes, @[email protected] !
Yikes that’s some beefy hardware and capacity.
Thanks for the link, answered the dumb questions my mind popped up as well.
Looks like the instance(s) admin has gone way overboard on hardware specs.
