I’m genuinely so excited to see some of the more focussed communities blossom on this platform as they have on Reddit over the years. Which are your favourites and which do you think could succeed here?

    Lemmy is very lightweight in terms of RAM and CPU, but I agree storage would be a primary concern. Bandwidth TBD - I’ve only run my instance for about 24 hours

      I wonder if another raspberrypi could handle it all on it’s own if it’s lightweight. But then again, it might need the same door that goes to the pi I already use and in that case things wouldn’t work.

      It would be very cool to host it but I think I’m gonna limit myself to modding a sub for something I like.

        Well, whatever you do, what matters is you are here and engaging and building the community. That counts for something.

          Someone in another comment brought up a good point, could the oemmy instance be set so that one can only link to pictures outside? That would prevent the server being overloaded

        You could probably get a lemmy going in the cloud I know there are cloud services for mastodon don’t know how much it costs but I don’t think a small instance is that expensive just charge a fee of a few dollars per user and you should easily cover your cost and make a small bit of money as well
