An anti social network. Nice.
Lemmy
Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.
For discussion about the lemmy.ml instance, go to !meta@lemmy.ml.
A single person instance, not federated, and isolated. I can post, comment and moderate. Nobody can downvote me, NOBODY! :-)
I do think OP intends to federate though.
Haha, that wasn't really the purpose, I intend to federate and communicate
Lemmy is actually quite light.. My lemmy VM is currently using only 317MB of the 1GB I've allocated it, and about half of a 16GB disk.
Obviously I'm not subscribing to every possible group there.. only a dozen or so.. but I could go a lot bigger without it becoming a problem.
TBH I'd use the celeron and get a bigger RAM stick in there (cheap), and you'll be fine for a 1 person instance.
Sweet, seems like lemmy is pretty lightweight on resources overall. Thanks for the reply :)
How powerful should my hardware be?
I think 512mb ram is probably a bit too low. There is a risk for the pc to crash at some point. I think 1 GB+ should be fine.
Which ports do I need opened to operate a lemmy instance for my personal use (i’m only going to be connecting from home)?
To avoid opening ports you can use Cloudflare tunnel as you mentioned.
Only other option is probably renting a cheap vps. Here is a cheap vps options for 2.5$
I see. I think I'll try finding a cheap second hand laptop and run it as a server. (Technically even includes a UPS lol)
The VPS also seems nice, I'll look into it. Thanks!
Actually thinking about the same. Not too familiar with how Lemmy works generally (please don't kick me for the question), but won't there be problems with federating to/from other popular instances?
I'm also quite unfamiliar with lemmy architecture haha. Well unless the instance I'm trying to federate with defederates/bans my instance, I guess I'll be ok but I don't know.. I'm currently searching for information :)
