Is there any benefit to host my own instance?

how much does your mastadon instance cost per month? what do you expect for lemmy?

I'm using Linode, and their prices are publicly available.

For Mastodon, I'm using the Linode 4 GB while the Lemmy server runs on the Linode 2 GB option. Both are under the Shared CPU pricing -- not dedicated.

thanks for all of the information you've shared in this thread.

i was put off by the cost and effort involved in maintaining a mastadon instance when i looked into that a while back, but i'm glad to hear that lemmy could be cheaper.
