Cost of running a mastodon instance (lemmy.world)

how much does running a mastodon instance of 1000 users costs? Disabling Images and allowing only text is one of my condition. So if I do that, will that change cost? I am thinking of a VPS so that i can have greater control over instance functionality

How much Storage and RAM will be required roughly?

To give you ballpark figures. Self-hosting will not save you much compared to that.

Software like Akkoma or GoToSocial will save you some CPU and RAM costs, but are more optimized for smaller instances.
