Any insights on to the cost of running an instance? Talking about cloud based solutions.
I haven’t seen what will happen in the long run, but I’m running my one-person instance on a Linode nano server with 1 CPU core and 1GB RAM, which costs $5. Bought a domain for $2.50/year. Seems to be running fine so far, but I might eventually end up moving it to my local unraid server if I have problems with resources.
If you host your own 1 person server, you can federate with everyone else correct? Also, how is your storage usage looking with just one person?
This is the PostgreSQL database on a freshly-rebuilt server (that is, one with a small WAL) which has been running for nearly 3 weeks now.
Yes, you can absolutely choose yourself, who you federate with. But I would look for ready-made blocklists and go from there. There's stuff out there you just don't want to see or even interact with.
