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?

    Just make sure you keep regular backups of your data so you can spin it up somewhere else.

    Also, people can crap all over Oracle (rightfully so), but I highly doubt they would kill the free tier one day w/o any warning at all.
