I’m wondering, what resources does Lemmy need? For a small instance (let’s say, me and some friends) or a large instance (think Lemmy.ml or Lemmy.world or the like…).

Also, where do y’all host your instances?

    Wow, thnx for the info. I do see db issues, even for small, semi personal, instances. That might become one of the biggest issues I think.

    Where are you hosted? At home or via a provider/datacenter?

      Yeah VPS provider. No way I’d host it at home. Because like I said, you host pictures of all instances you are federated against.
      Plus bandwidth. My server averages 1MBs and that is with CloudFlare. Couldn’t imagine the bandwidth needed for a non-cdn enabled site. Especially a big one
