Is there any benefit to host my own instance?

    How is your RAM/storage usage? I’m interested in setting up my own instance (no communities, just a username that will always be here) but don’t want to upgrade my VPS again. I already had to do that spinning up a Mastodon server.

      I’m up to about 300MB of disk usage after a day of hosting my own. Curious to see how it grows.

        The pictures folder on my instance is at 1.3GB after two days. It’s just me and my friend. About how many communities are you subscribed to?

          1. Some of those are lemmy.ml and not a lot of comments, etc have synced yet.
