How do server upkeep costs look like for fediverse stuff? (lemmy.world)

I'm pretty new to the fediverse, and I find the idea amazing. But one thing concerns me though. How will server owners be able to afford to run servers with massive amounts of data coming through them? Theoretically speaking, if a Reddit migration were to happen how would server upkeep costs look like?

Thank goodness for people like this. I can point this out to my wife the next time she questions the new hard drives and show her how completely reasonable I am compared to some.
