I’d like to contribute to the Lemmy community. I’ve been running my own private Linux servers for more than 25 years for things like email (years ago before all the spam), and as file servers, backup, etc. It’s an old, not very powerful computer, running Ubuntu server, in a corner in my house. Is it worth running a Lemmy instance on such a machine? I suppose there’d also be issues of how much data is going in and out, and how that would impact my internet cable usage. Thoughts?
im running my own as an instance for myself and those interested in AI research. IMO a small instance is the way to make sure your “day-to-day” if you are community building does not spam the network unnecessarily. With Ansible it did not take long to fire up.
