Heya, I’m trying out Lemmy and kinda like the idea of hosting a Lemmy instance just for me.

I was wondering:

  • What are the hardware/bandwidth requirements for a single user instance?
  • I know different instances can black list each other, but can they whitelist each other too? I don’t want to be automatically unable to see interact with certain instances.
  • Has anyone else done this and have thoughts to share?
  • What about doing the same for Mastodon?

    My personal instance that is pulling in close to the top 500 communities. Over the past week I see about 4 million requests and 17GB data served.

      That’s pretty small tbh did expect much more but I guess offloading content traffic to 3rd party does the most heavy lifting. Thanks for the insight!
