If anyone here is running an instance on Lemmy, I'd like to know the system requirements recommended. I want to run an instance on a VPS, probably just as an account server.

What type of VPS can I get by on, for just accounts on an instance? How much storage space would I need to do just an "account instance", and how much would I need for a full instance with maybe a few small communities?

Just set up lemmy.zip today using Hetzner cloud, 2vcpus, 4gb Ram and 40gb storage. You could definitely get the smaller one there, the whole thing takes very little space. Disable pictures and you'd probably never have storage concerns.
