For those self-hosting a lemmy instance, what hardware are you using? I am currently using a small Hetzner VPS. It has 2 vCPU, 2GB RAM and 40GB SSD storage. My instance is currently just in testing with me as the only user, but I plan to use it for close friends or family that may want to try this out, but might not want to sign up for a different instance. My CPU and RAM usage is great so far. My only concern is how large the storage will balloon to over time. I’ve been up for ~20 hours and it’s grown to 1.5G total volume since.

How many users do you have? Not starting a server any time soon, just curious. A you seem to have one of the bigger ones in this thread and are using them for privately. Are you public?

Mine is public, yes. Not sure how many active users I have, 28 signups but my sidebar shows 5 monthly active users so far. I imagine this will pick up once people start commenting and posting more.
