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!
