If you want to host and manage your own Lemmy instance but are intimidated by the technical requirements, I can help! - Lemmy

I am a software developer by craft and a linux system admin by hobby. I cannot commit to moderating and managing my own instance, but I would be glad to help someone with the technical aspects. The most common complaint I saw in Reddit and here about switching to Lemmy is the difficulty of setting it up, so I thought I would help bridge this gap.

I was playing with the idea of spinning up a VPS through AWS lightsail since the bundled package it provides seems to be cheaper than configuring an EC2 instance/other requisite resources running 24/7.

What has been people's experience regarding:

  • Monthly data upload rates (since most cloud providers charge internet egress per gigabyte)
  • Database/image storage requirements

Hosting a single user instance, I'm seeing a few GB of network traffic over the past few days and maybe 10Gb at most needed for the disk.
