I am considering creating my own lemmy instance as my current instance (lemmy.world) is often down, and I enjoy this kind of a project. That being said I haven’t been able to find any resources on hw needed for this? If I have a raspberry pi 4b 8g with 128gb is that enough for just me using it? Do I need to pay for a cloud server to host it? How can federation work if I only have <10 users tops? Anything else I might need to know?

      When you say make sure your network is fast enough, how fast do you mean? I have 200mb, is that fast enough? (It’s the fastest option for my house)

        I don’t know what’s required, would also depends on your upload as all images you post are primarily served from your instance.
