Cost of running a mastodon instance (lemmy.world)

how much does running a mastodon instance of 1000 users costs? Disabling Images and allowing only text is one of my condition. So if I do that, will that change cost? I am thinking of a VPS so that i can have greater control over instance functionality

How much Storage and RAM will be required roughly?

Even without images, you'll still need quite a bit of space. I'm not sure 50GB would cut it for 1000 semi-active users. Also you'll need to pay for the domain name.
