Hi all!

I have decided to setup and selfhost my own private Lemmy instance.

I will be doing with docker (podman, actually).

Should I host at home or use a dedicated VPS?

Anybody selfhosting its own Lemmy?

Do you guys have any hints for me?

    Very very little. It’s a billion tiny little bits of text, and if you have image caching enabled, then all those thumbnails.

    My personal instance doesn’t cache images since I’m the only one using it (which means a cached image does nobody any good), and i use somewhere less than 20gb a month, though I don’t have entirely specific numbers, just before-lemmy and after-lemmy aggregates.
