How do server upkeep costs look like for fediverse stuff? (lemmy.world)

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?

Any ballpark guesses as to numbers (relative to Mastodon or Lemmy)? Are we talking, say, twice as expensive, or two orders of magnitude more expensive?
