What is your resource utilization like? I know larger instances obv have their own quirks but one of my unknowns is what specs for the server.

I’m also curious about disk space. I’ve seen people self hosting say their usage grows about 500M per day (but no mention on the amount of communities they actively federate) which would fill up my Hetzner box in about a few months. Having never adminned Lemmy, is there some sort of content deletion job that removes stuff after X amount of days?

Lastly, from what I understand the federated tab only shows stuff from instances (or is it down to the community level?) where at least 1 user in your home instance is subscribed. Did you just have to go out and browse communities you’re interested in and follow them yourself? Or maybe with an alt account?

Thanks for the .atom tip. I’ve been messing with Diun to try and keep up on updates but I run so many different things it ends up being useless by the time I get around to wanting to actually do the updates. I’ll add the ones I super care about to Miniflux though and see if that’s more doable for me

Also possible, yeah.

I’ve been trying to find this out as well. I haven’t found anything that even claims they’ve shown Reddit any legitimate data. Seems like a “trust me bro, we have what we say we have” situation

Yep, I would have happily paid for the ability to keep using Sync, just like I happily paid for Sync Ultra. I’m probably not in the majority though

I have a base Debian template with a few tweaks I like for all my machines. Debating setting up something like terraform but I just don’t spin up VMs frequently enough to wan tto do that. I do have a few Ansible playbooks I run on a fresh server to really get it to where I want though.
