I’m thinking about deploying my own instance where I’d be the only user and most probable I won’t have any communities.
The only thing there will be my account to interact with as many other instances as I want.

What would be de pros and cons of having my account like this?
Would it be harder to interact with other instances in some way?

    I’ve had my instance running for a month now, and currently my volumes folder (which holds all the data for Lemmy) is only 493M, so I don’t foresee any storage issues!

    From what I understand, any images from other communities don’t actually get replicated to your instance (you just see a link to where it is saved on the original community), but I could be wrong on that.

      If that’s true about images that does greatly reduce my concern. Text is small and easily compressed. That said, I fully hope to see multiple orders of magnitude of increased traffic if/as Lemmy gains traction.
