Just curious how much it would cost to run an instance? Maybe with 1,000-10,000 users? Also are there any hosts that ya'll recommend? I am most familiar with Digital Ocean but DO may not be the best area to host an instance.

Apologizes if this is the wrong community to post this in. I am not sure where to find any info on pricing estimates

Yeah I am curious about the storage requirements. I self-host a lot of things and I am kinda curious what it'd be like to self-host my private instance of Lemmy. Can I delete super old posts from cache to save disk space? How often does it pull in federated data? Does it do it on demand or periodically in the background? etc.

Interested in knowing this too as I’m tempted to host for myself and close friends
