Hi all, a shout-out for assistance. I’m considering hosting a Lemmy instance (assuming I can pass the wife test on costs) and I’m looking for some guidance on specs.

Can anyone who’s currently hosting an instance (or who knows the inner workings of one) please reply with:

  • specs on the hardware / VPS that’s hosting your instance
  • how many users / posts that’s supporting
  • what the system load looks like with the above
  • if locally hosting, the type of bandwidth requirements you’re seeing

I previously posted this in the wrong community, and one of the responses asked how many users I’m expecting. To preemptively answer - I don’t know. I’m just trying to get an idea of relative sizing.

Thank you!!

    That sounds like a nice feature but perhaps maybe a limit to how many communities you can post to at once to avoid abuse from bad actors.
