Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

If you gave up running a single user instance of Mastodon then I really don't think you should be running a Lemmy instance. It's a fediverse compliant system that will have many of the same issues as Mastodon.
I run a small 10 person Instance of Mastodon and it runs very well on a small server of 4GB Memory and 100GB disk. Not sure why you had issues with a 1 man instance.
Out of interest why would you want to run a 1 man Lemmy Instance?
I'm not alone.

Compute was never an issue. I had my instance hosted on Hetzner and it ran just fine.
My concern is the storage, as described above, constantly checking disk space, cronjobs, purging etc etc
And whether I host a single user or a multi user instance is neither here or there. My question still stands.
I never had to check disk space, cron jobs or do any purging.
Where did you run you Mastodon Instance. I run mine at Digitial Ocean, been running for nearly a year and have not encountered any issues and I'm running on the cheapest server they have.
