Just curious how much it would cost to run an instance? Maybe with 1,000-10,000 users? Also are there any hosts that ya'll recommend? I am most familiar with Digital Ocean but DO may not be the best area to host an instance.

Apologizes if this is the wrong community to post this in. I am not sure where to find any info on pricing estimates

The admin of sopuli.xyz said in his FAQ that donations are unnecessary atm, as his expenses total about 12 euros a month.

Sopuli has a bit under 2000 accounts, I think, and is running on a Hetzner VPS located in Finland.
