This is corny, but thanks for being awesome! It feels so nice to see this community grow out of a shared vision of what the internet should be.

Standing up my little instance has been a blast! I'm not quite done with it, but your combined enthusiasm gives me hope for the future of the internet. 😊

I haven’t seen what will happen in the long run, but I’m running my one-person instance on a Linode nano server with 1 CPU core and 1GB RAM, which costs $5. Bought a domain for $2.50/year. Seems to be running fine so far, but I might eventually end up moving it to my local unraid server if I have problems with resources.

If you host your own 1 person server, you can federate with everyone else correct? Also, how is your storage usage looking with just one person?

willemijn@derp:~/lemmy/volumes$ sudo du -hs postgres/
3.0G	postgres/

This is the PostgreSQL database on a freshly-rebuilt server (that is, one with a small WAL) which has been running for nearly 3 weeks now.

Yes, you can absolutely choose yourself, who you federate with. But I would look for ready-made blocklists and go from there. There's stuff out there you just don't want to see or even interact with.
