I just now noticed that these numbers are just for Mastodon.world, before they spun up Lemmy.world. But I also remember one of the bigger isntances posting about their massive server upgrade, and it was very much in line with these figures.

ETA: There's another blog post there with server specs: https://blog.mastodon.world/welcome-lemmy-world

32-core/64 thread 128GB RAM dedicated server.

Thank you, their financials seem not to be a big concern for now. I imagine the administrators will begin posting their patreon more frequently in this instance if costs become cumbersome in the long-term. I’m not certain whether they’re dipping into their relatively sizable savings from mastodon or whether they’re keeping funding separate, but they’re not in immediate danger, nonetheless.
