1. What are the system requirements to host a private Mastodon instance?
2. Can I host several instances with the same backend? I have several silly domains I could use, but it seems wasteful to make a user and a process for each.

@cjm

1) Not much, since you just have to handle the traffic of each *instance* following you, not each user.
2) Sadly, no.

@cjm #Awooga - 1. 1GB ($10/month) virtual server will suffice to run a private mastodon server - takes about 30-50 mins for competant linux devops. 2. Yes could host serveral mastodon servers on this host with ease. Hope this helps.
