Is there any benefit to host my own instance?

      I’m using Linode, and their prices are publicly available.

      https://www.linode.com/pricing/

      For Mastodon, I’m using the Linode 4 GB while the Lemmy server runs on the Linode 2 GB option. Both are under the Shared CPU pricing – not dedicated.

        thanks for all of the information you’ve shared in this thread.

        i was put off by the cost and effort involved in maintaining a mastadon instance when i looked into that a while back, but i’m glad to hear that lemmy could be cheaper.
