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?

Lemmy-Easy-Deploy is awesome, and yes, Oracle will burn you eventually, and you won't be able to access your instance to run one of the migrate scripts to move elsewhere. Everything will be permanently gone.

Check out Hetzner instead. They have reasonable prices and DCs in both the EU and the US. They also just started offering ARM servers as well.
