Nice! Would you be open to have other users there too, or do you prefer to keep it a single-user instance? I'm looking around for smaller instances to use for a change ๐Ÿ˜„

    Sadly I'm hitting RAM limits at the moment, so won't be opened up to other users until memory prices come down :)

    what specs are needed to run such an instance?

    Lemmy's consuming close to 19GiB of RAM. CPU is less critical, that only occasionally spikes above 10% on 2 cores. Disk size of 60GiB is enough with a regular cleanup.

    EDIT: turns out It was actually using ~9.5 GiB, the rest was linux buff/cache which Proxmox reports as used. Moving pict-rs off SLED to postgres and tuning postgres a bit, I was able to bring it down to ~2.6 GiB.

    Thanks for replying. I have only 16GB ram. Plenty of disk space (240GB ssd), CPU is okay. Just the ram's the problem, can't expand it either.

    I learned today PieFed should be much leaner, 1-2 GiBs only for some multi-user instances. Such a big difference blew my mind, I might have to make the switch. Feel free to try it out (and let me know how it went :D )

    19 GiB or RAM? Oh wow, that's a lot!

    It is, surprised me as well. It's been through a couple of reboots already, no noticeable build-up, the amount is pretty constant. This pushes the PieFed switch near the top of the list, it seems PieFeds load is drastically less.
