I’m looking to host a lemmy instance for a small subreddit. I I am unsure if the load would be too much for my home network. In the last 30 days we got 1.7k comments, 96 posts, 95k views, with an average unique of 809.

My home internet connection is 100mb/s down, 20mb/s up. I use the network to work from home as well as general internet degeneracy when I’m off the clock. I have two roommates also using the network for personal stuff, but not working from home. Would this put too much load on my home network?

If it does, could anyone recommend a good web host service that is compatible with lemmy?

    DDoS can always be mitigated with CloudFlare, and VLANs with enterprie gear. There is always cheap deals on markets such as FB Marketplace. Selfhosting public services always brings its risks!
