I just noticed you are the admin of belgae.social, would you be interested in hosting a Piefed instance? It has a few features that Lemmy is currently missing: https://join.piefed.social/features/
I’m meaning to actually, I like the PieFed devs more. I just don’t want to rush the transition as I’m still thinking up the transition strategy. It’s just a single-user instance, so would not cause too much impact. But do know it’s on my TODO list :D
Nice! Would you be open to have other users there too, or do you prefer to keep it a single-user instance? I’m looking around for smaller instances to use for a change 😄
Lemmy’s consuming close to 19GiB of RAM. CPU is less critical, that only occasionally spikes above 10% on 2 cores. Disk size of 60GiB is enough with a regular cleanup.
EDIT: turns out It was actually using ~9.5 GiB, the rest was linux buff/cache which Proxmox reports as used. Moving pict-rs off SLED to postgres and tuning postgres a bit, I was able to bring it down to ~2.6 GiB.
I learned today PieFed should be much leaner, 1-2 GiBs only for some multi-user instances. Such a big difference blew my mind, I might have to make the switch. Feel free to try it out (and let me know how it went :D )
It is, surprised me as well. It’s been through a couple of reboots already, no noticeable build-up, the amount is pretty constant. This pushes the PieFed switch near the top of the list, it seems PieFeds load is drastically less.
Most recent ones: moved away from CloudFlare for my tunnels to self-hosted Pangolin. Moved away from a US domain registrar to INWX.

Sadly I’m hitting RAM limits at the moment, so won’t be opened up to other users until memory prices come down :)
Ah, that makes sense! That RAM shortage is really a pain…
what specs are needed to run such an instance?

Thanks for replying. I have only 16GB ram. Plenty of disk space (240GB ssd), CPU is okay. Just the ram’s the problem, can’t expand it either.

19 GiB or RAM? Oh wow, that’s a lot!
