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?

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.
