What specs do I need to run a lemmy instance for, say a small group of 1000 people? Cpu, Ram, Amount of Electricity needed, Minimum Internet Speed, Storage? Assuming that I would be federating with the top lemmy instances.
I think it would be possible to run it on that laptop. But the only way to find out is if you try for us!!
This may help: https://sh.itjust.works/post/4706 This real answer is that it depends on how many online users there are at the same time and how much data is saved.
I've heard of people running (Mastodon, not lemmy, but it's probably comparable) off a raspberry pi, but I doubt that'd be feasible for more than a few users. I might set that up for self-hosting though
