Hi all, a shout-out for assistance. I'm considering hosting a Lemmy instance (assuming I can pass the wife test on costs) and I'm looking for some guidance on specs.

Can anyone who's currently hosting an instance (or who knows the inner workings of one) please reply with:

specs on the hardware / VPS that's hosting your instance
how many users / posts that's supporting
what the system load looks like with the above
if locally hosting, the type of bandwidth requirements you're seeing

Thank you!!

I am hoping to host an instance with one community to which anyone can subscribe but on which I will be the only user (as admin). Would my Raspberry Pi 4 suffice?
