So I was wondering is it helpfull if i run my own instance than for me and my roommates ? Or ?
There is a lot of debate on whether or not small instances help or make it worse, mostly due to how Lemmy handles pushing updates.
The main consensus is that joining a small to medium sized instance would have the smallest footprint on Lemmy.
That being said, Lemmy has a lot more developers working on it now it has all this attention and now they can see where Lemmy struggles on large instances, so what is true today may not be true in the future.
Oke than we will see what the future holds
Sure why not. Plenty of us have single user instances.
