This is well written, but is only 30 days worth of data.
$20/month, not including compute, is their starting point on AWS. As they get more followers and follow more people that will continue to grow.
My biggest suggestion is to disable the relay. I took experimented with using a public relay, but the stream of content it adds is very low value. Better to create a second account on the instance that is more aggressive about following people your only tangentially interested in. This will make your federated feed interesting, but keep your main feed more focused.
To the people suggesting DO/Linode. I'm a big supporter of Linode, however article has no egress or compute costs. Likely because it's a single user instance running on the free tier. Their costs are almost all storage related.
- layoric 4y agoA good compromise I’ve found is using something like “FakeRelay”[0] with “GetMoarFediverse”[1] to pull in specific tags from specific larger servers. This acts as a way to get more interesting content in your search and other mastodon tabs while benefiting from the moderation efforts of larger servers. Always good to ask the admins of those servers before you do incase they are already at capacity and don’t want the extra load, and contribute to their patreon if they have one.
