I'm pretty new to the fediverse, and I find the idea amazing. But one thing concerns me though. How will server owners be able to afford to run servers with massive amounts of data coming through them? Theoretically speaking, if a Reddit migration were to happen how would server upkeep costs look like?

Thanks for the instance and good work btw, I know it's not easy running this stuff.

Yeah 180, for now it's overkill but I prefer that over scaling up every day.
