    Are you sure? Check again. I didn’t scroll too far, but saw $6, $35, $20, $65 and $30. All are lower.

      For cost per user, it’s only 3 cents. A few others are around 10 cents per user, and the rest are significantly higher.

      The instances with lower total cost also have much lower activity, lemmy.ml has 2.4k active users but still only 80€ per month. Impressive.
