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.
Not exactly, itβs a valid question because itβs not really obvious what actions cause an increase in resource usage. How much data is generated by federating with an instance? Does Lemmy mirror any community a user subscribes to? For how long is data from other instances kept? Does the instance commenting or the instance hosting the post store comments under that post? I donβt know how Lemmy works in that regard, it might be that a million users can use a raspi if theyβre only subscribed to the same few communities.
Try asking in !selfhosted@lemmy.world
please use /c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml for general support questions (or for this one you could also ask in one of the selfhosted communities.)
iβm deleting this per asklemmy rule 3.
how many users, for yourself and some friends a small droplet or base level VPS will likely do the job.
Looking for the same info!
