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?
Doing this, running on a VPS with 1GB of RAM perfectly fine. No whitelisting required but you will have to manually subscribe to everything you want to see, so such thing as a proper “all” feed since this only shows feeds that users of your instance are subscribed to. Subscriptions are a bit weird, you want to search for the full URL of a sublemmy, then try it again after some minutes for it to work since it has to be fetched first. The ansible playbook is ridiculously easy to use for deployment.
Mastodon is a different beast, from what I saw so far, this needs much more configuration effort for deployment.
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: !selfhosted@lemmy.world
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.

Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
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).
