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?
I host my personal instance on a beefier vps but it also hosts a few other tools I use. Lemmy is very slow and resource heavy to build but once running it’s not terrible at hogging resources.
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.
