Hello! I did the same thing, and this is my first post on my instance!
I just put it on an old computer with 8GB of RAM, a HDD, and an old i5. Its running great so far.
One disapointment for me is viewing “all”. Since im the only one on my instance, the only communities I see are the ones im subscribed to. Let me know if you find a way around this please!
This is awesome! Can’t wait to give it a try, thank you!
