If you just want to run a single-user instance on the cheap: forget Mastodon! Takahe [0] does not require one whole server for each user and it has substantial lower TCO. A "small instance" for Mastodon can not be realistically be found for less than $10/month today , while I can offer Takahe for $39 per year [1].
But if you want to make the Fediverse really, really cheap to operate, lets rethink the whole server-centric approach and put some effort to develop applications that are primarily based on the client [2]
