Heya, I’m trying out Lemmy and kinda like the idea of hosting a Lemmy instance just for me.

I was wondering:

  • What are the hardware/bandwidth requirements for a single user instance?
  • I know different instances can black list each other, but can they whitelist each other too? I don’t want to be automatically unable to see interact with certain instances.
  • Has anyone else done this and have thoughts to share?
  • What about doing the same for Mastodon?

    Yes im doing something similar but you should probably mask your home IP in some way using something like Cloudflare tunnels. Keep in mind the whole idea behind federation is you are advertising yourself to the fediverse.
