    no no, it’s the apps that are inefficient. I mean, I’m staring at my Lemmy instance and I’m pretty sure that the thousands of requests I’ve taken in have warranted…

    Nope, it’s cost me maybe a penny so far running it.

      To be fair, Reddit operates on a much larger scale even for small subs

      Not playing devils advocate, but the burden of hosting lemmy is not comparable today

        Totally fair, massive databases, multiple levels of APIs, hooks, events, thousands of CPU cores and thousands of gigs of ram. I was being snarky.

        However, still doesn’t even come close to justifying that cost
