Depends how many people you are hosting for. But what you describe seems overkill, I think Lemmy.ml just upgraded to a 6 core cpu and 32gb of ram and they have 30k+ members.
I run my own instance, the benefit is privacy and reliability. Everything is controlled on your own server. You also aren’t reliant on someone else running an instance that could go down at any time, either permanently or an outage. Been a problem with Lemmy.ml recently.
The political views of the main devs are controversial but it doesn’t really matter since Lemmy is free and open source. No one owns or runs it. Only lemmy.ml specifically is run by the devs.
See I would like to help out if I could and open up my instance since I’m sitting on a lot of unused hardware, but I’m just not really interested in moderating.
From what I understand it doesn’t use a lot of resources. For a small amount of users you probably don’t need much. The thing with storage is it just depends on how many users you have, and how many images/videos those users post. Since I’m pretty sure all uploads coming from your account will link back to your home instance afaik.
Yeah that’s what Lemmy started out as. The thing is with all the Reddit refugees flooding in it is diluting out the tankies. Besides, lemmygrad.ml is blocked by many instances. As for the values of the devs the great thing is that Lemmy is FOSS so if they go rouge someone will just make a fork of Lemmy.
I doubt they will ever match the original style of Futurama, given that it seems to be a lot of new writers, but I also think new writers will give the new seasons a different style that could end up going either way.
as far as I know, lemmy.ca is not using a whitelist. If you leave your allow list empty, you will automatically federate with all available instances. You can see federated and blocked instances at https://lemmy.ca/instances
Unfortunately 48 hours probably won’t do anything if they just come back like nothing happened. If the AMA with spez has shown anything it’s that Reddit is not going to back down even with the large protest from the community.

Lemmy instances seem to have trouble seeing content from kbin instances for some reason.
Yes. Instances can be hosted by anyone and the devs don’t have access to data on instances they don’t run.
Lemmy is FOSS so I don’t really think the political views of the developers have much impact.

Is there an alternative here on Lemmy?
Unfortunately it’s inactive but there is !dataisbeautiful@lemmy.ml
I have been able to get kbin magazines show up but they don't show posts and I can't subscribe. Seems like something lemmy needs to fix.
I think the fing-longer, if only he could have invented it.

Mlem on iOS TestFlight.
Here.
I mean I’d imagine the more sugar the more time it will take.

He just publicly admitted Reddit is not profitable and he’s mad that third party apps are. That IPO is not going to go well lol.
