Hi all, a shout-out for assistance. I’m considering hosting a Lemmy instance (assuming I can pass the wife test on costs) and I’m looking for some guidance on specs.
Can anyone who’s currently hosting an instance (or who knows the inner workings of one) please reply with:
- specs on the hardware / VPS that’s hosting your instance
- how many users / posts that’s supporting
- what the system load looks like with the above
- if locally hosting, the type of bandwidth requirements you’re seeing
Thank you!!

This is like asking how long a rope is.
It all depends on how many users you have making requests daily.
If the instance is only for you then you could host it at home on a $50 Raspberry Pi.
I am hoping to host an instance with one community to which anyone can subscribe but on which I will be the only user (as admin). Would my Raspberry Pi 4 suffice?
