Honestly, I'm interested in knowing some of this too.
https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/administration.html says about 150GB RAM and negligible CPU usage.
I assume an instance with users subscribed to active communities requires meaningful storage, but I'm not clear the sizes we're talking about (what's data growth per/day been like for some of the larger communities).
EDIT: Likewise, I'd love to know if that 150GB RAM is fixed or whether that number grows with use.

Wait, nothing lasts here on lemmy for more than 6 months!? I swear Iβve seen much older stuff here?
Pretty sure OP-comment misinterpreted the code. My best guess is that they're simply pruning an index or something like that.
The person you replied to is wrong. That 6 months has nothing to do with removing old comments or postings.
Cool! Whatβs the 6 months thing about then?
The programmers were using it to debug things. Right now it's just doubling the storage ;)
Someone asked the developers 5 days ago about it: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3103
I suspect that it depends on if you're accepting other users and or communities. If so, you'll have to be global mod and probably spend time sorting out mod reports etc.
If you're just setting up an instance for yourself, it's probably easier but you'll need an account somewhere else to discover communities and index them back to your instance.
I would love to hear the answer to this as well. I guess itβs heavily dependent on how many users you have and if they are uploading images or just text, or just lurking.
I think if you did not allow signups it would probably be extremely minimal.
