It can be as cheap as you want, mine is self-hosted directly from the pc that spawned out of replaced components from my current pc (featured here in this photo) after i slowly upgraded everything. I just need to set up cloudflare tunnel (free) to ensure privacy to my real ip address. Mostly the cost are the electricity i spent to keep the pc turned on 24/7. Oh and getting your own domain name has its own cost depending on the domain name.
How cheap is setting up your own lemmy instance?

Well that sounds not too expensive to me, good work!
