I wonder what the stats on running a lemmy instance are.

How much time needs to be invested, how much data storage is needed, what kind of traffic volume is to be expected?

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.

That page says 150 MB (0.15 GB), not 150 GB (150,000 MB) of RAM.
