    If you mean cloud as in EC2 or it’s ilk, probably. But in a case where scalability isn’t as much of a concern, an appropriately spec’d server can be quite affordable on KimSufi/SYS (maybe 30/month?)

      My server in my home costs me a lot less than 30/month to operate. Since this is a hobby for me I don’t assign a monetary value to the time I spend working on it. I built the server with second hand components that I got at a swap meet for less than 700 dollars. Now knock on wood things have been running smoothly and I do a lot with this server. It doesn’t just power Lemmy and Mastodon, but it also does my Jellyfin and NAS. It’s probably overspec’d for my needs but that means I can use it for a long while.
