Also depends greatly on which software you run. I also run Akkoma, which is super lightweight. Calckey also doesn't require much. Mastodon is heavier and requires much media cache storage. Lemmy uses more images.
Have you ever looked into hosting a Peertube instance? I'm curious about how the costs compare.
Well I (of course) host one, but not open for signups. It will probably need a lot of CPU for transcoding, and a lot of storage! (Bandwidth too but that's unlimited for my current servers)
Just out of curiosity of running instances that big.. How/where can you get unlimited bandwidth? By bandwidth, i assume you refer to "amount of data" transferred. What is the uplink speed.
A lot of services in Europe provide unlimited traffic. That's why most of torrent seed services are located in Europe.
Im aware of this. Maybe my question was slightly unclear. What uplink speed is necessary to run an instance with 30k users?
