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?
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.
Rules:
Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
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!
