[email protected] has the most subscribers out of any community according to lemmyverse.net - Lemmy.world

Why is there no lemmy.world community at all? I’m pretty sure it has a lot of big communities
Putting all of the large communities on a single instance is just reddit with more steps. It’s good that one of the larger Lemmy communities is not also on the largest Lemmy instance. Lemmy.world suffers a lot of outages (in part because it’s so centralized), meanwhile this community remains available.
That is the reason why I self host my own private instance.

Just out of curiosity

I have my own instance (gadgetro.id), but it isn’t set to private. Are you still able to browse other accounts on the fediverse from your instance when set to private?

I don’t even know if it’s set to private. If you mean browsing accounts from subscribed communities then yes.
What’s the hardware and network demand like ? I’ve been vaguely thinking of doing so myself.
The lxc container in Proxmox is at around 500 MB of ram usage, 1.35 GB of network traffic, and less than 1% CPU usage. Although I’m the only one using the instance.
Thanks, appreciated.
Yeah that is the total amount of network data used since I set it up yesterday.
My friends instance, crystals.rest, is hosted on a $5/mo Linode with 1GB of RAM
