Putting all of the large communities on a single instance is just reddit with more steps. It’s good that one of the larger Lemmy communities is not also on the largest Lemmy instance. Lemmy.world suffers a lot of outages (in part because it’s so centralized), meanwhile this community remains available.
The lxc container in Proxmox is at around 500 MB of ram usage, 1.35 GB of network traffic, and less than 1% CPU usage. Although I’m the only one using the instance.
I have my own instance (gadgetro.id), but it isn’t set to private. Are you still able to browse other accounts on the fediverse from your instance when set to private?
Why is there no lemmy.world community at all? I’m pretty sure it has a lot of big communities

That is the reason why I self host my own private instance.
What’s the hardware and network demand like ? I’ve been vaguely thinking of doing so myself.

Thanks, appreciated.
Edit
I assume you mean 1.35gb of network data per day ? As opposed to per minute / per second etc
Yeah that is the total amount of network data used since I set it up yesterday.
Just out of curiosity

I don’t even know if it’s set to private. If you mean browsing accounts from subscribed communities then yes.
