There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.

Do you mind sharing how big of a VPS is required to run an instance this size? One of the issues with Mastodon is that it's written in Ruby and it requires a lot of money to run a decently sized server. I'm wondering if Lemmy is more efficient given that it's written in Rust

this is the last 24 hours of CPU usage, currently running on a 4 cpu vps.

not sure how that compares to a Mastodon instance of similar size. i know the lemmy devs are working on some further optimizations, so hopefully that will help too.

Some context: I self host an Akkoma instance with some low powered CPUs and it's worked fine for me. I'm just wondering what kind of CPUs these virtual CPUs are on the VPS you're using?

this is from their wiki page, not sure if it's still accurate?
