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?

    But IMHO it’s complete overkill. But it might not be for their database, considering they have 7.5k active users, which is 50x what I am dealing with.

    They have a lot more historical data in their tables too. There currently isn’t any way for peers to download old content that is on the big servers.
