It's probably people starting instances as a small side project without making them public and shutting them dowb after a while
For costs, you can have a look at this post; https://feddit.org/post/2600584
Yep that's me!
I love lemmy.world but just that instance slammed my small server to the point it looked closer to a ddos. I eventually just went to rss instead.
Yeah that makes sense. I'm hoping it's just that people have started personal, single-user instances and shut them down and not a larger set of instances going down. I would hope that we would hear more about instances shutting down if that was the case.
After reading through your post for costs, it seems that overall, costs are relatively low, unless the admin/team determine they want to increase the resources or implement additional setups for any reason.
