I’d say, you have a small instance.
I used to host lemmyonline.com, which has somewhere around 50-100 users.
It was upwards of 50-80g of disk space, and it used a pretty good chunk of bandwidth. CPU/Memory requirements were not very high though.
I saw it through one of the apps which scrapes reddit comments for archival.
Reddit quit making those stats public a while back, sadly
Don’t make the same mistake reddit did, by assuming active users = engagement.
Look at reddit’s stats, active users didn’t drop very drastically when everyone left. However, engagement/comments dropped drastically.
You don’t see porn on the front page of lemmy either, if you used the “subscribed” view, instead of treating “ALL” as if it doesn’t contain everything.
Hence my reaction to these issues. https://lemmyonline.com/post/459013
But… under new management now, in Germany. https://lemmyonline.com/post/587565
HEY LOCAL PD OFFICE,
SOMEONE TRIED TO UPLOAD SOME POTENTIALLY CHILD PORN TO MY LEMMY INSTANCE.
No… I don’t have an IP for who uploaded it.
Sorry, I don’t know where it came from. It just got federated across the fediverse to me.
No… I don’t have the content either, it doesn’t get saved.
Sorry… I guess I really don’t have any details at all for you.
not upload CSAM to for trolling communities. Even novel GenerativeAI CSAM. Users cannot upload CSAM images and never submit a post or comment (making them invisible to admins). The images will be automatically rejected during upload
There wouldn’t be anything to delete, as it would have never been saved with this.
There is a current PR, which I think has been merged. That being said, next release will likely contain that functionality.
They do.
But, if they used subscribed, they wouldn’t be able to fuss about all of the stuff they don’t want to see.
Instead, they just want to look at everything. and then block instances (not communities) showing things they don’t want to see.

There is a current PR, nearly completed for instance level blocking.
Until then, there is an easier method. Its called, looking at your subscribed feeds, instead of blindly looking at all.
People will gravitate to those instances run by talented devs.
Eh, people gravitate to where everyone else is. Half of the fediverse doesn’t realize federation means, you can read/post to most communities from most instances, bar federation issues. They see, OH HEY, Lemmy World has the most posts. I want to go where all of the posts are.
People RUN from instances, whenever the instance starts breaking, and the admins show their ineptitude. Either that, or when instances start clicking the defederation button too much.
clap
Another mega-instance is formed, with lots of people grouped together, to make a big target.
Perhaps one day, everyone will discover what “Federated” means.
less posts doesn’t really matter. lol. Everything is federated.
Honestly, kind of surprised my instance was only defederated twice. Not, sure what I expected, but… /shrugs.
I am disappointed in you!
LemmyOnline gave your instance a guarantee, and then you defederated it!
Interesting. Guess, dmz.social defedered my instance, for… unknown reasons.
Never even knew that instance existed.
I built a homemade one. 2.4kwh of capacity.
Should be good for a few decades easily.
Wouldn’t call it cheap. But, it will be around for 15 or 20 years.

Good is subjective, given I can see all of the same content, and more.
Also far fewer issues since I don’t have to support 100k users here.
The other admin now “owns” this instance, and hosts it in the EU.
I am just a glorified moderator now.
