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.

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.
