I’m wondering, what resources does Lemmy need? For a small instance (let’s say, me and some friends) or a large instance (think Lemmy.ml or Lemmy.world or the like…).

Also, where do y’all host your instances?

    I host Lemmy.wtf on my own server. Lemmy runs in a container in Proxmox. At the moment it has 2vCPU, 1GB RAM and 32 GB SSD in raid 1.

    It uses about 300MB RAM and the cpu is rarely doing anything.

    It only has around 70 users.

        I have 1TB SSD storage total on the server. It’s easy to extend the container, if I need more than 32GB. Right now my instance is only using ~2GB of storage.
