As the question states. I have the skiils and know how to setup a new instsnce and from looking through the documentation its relatively straight forward. Im just wondering would it actually help the fediverse and lemmy as a whole? There seems to already be plenty of instances to choose from. What are your guys thoughts?

That's what I do as of a couple days ago, it's working pretty ok so far.

What does it realistically take to host that? Would one of them smaller Digitalocean droplets be enough, for example?

I run an instance on a 2 core 4gb vps, I think the disk space will be the thing that I'll run out of

30 reg'd accounts and about 10 active users
