That is the reason why I self host my own private instance.
Just out of curiosity
I have my own instance (gadgetro.id), but it isn't set to private. Are you still able to browse other accounts on the fediverse from your instance when set to private?
I don't even know if it's set to private. If you mean browsing accounts from subscribed communities then yes.
What's the hardware and network demand like ? I've been vaguely thinking of doing so myself.
My friends instance, crystals.rest, is hosted on a $5/mo Linode with 1GB of RAM
The lxc container in Proxmox is at around 500 MB of ram usage, 1.35 GB of network traffic, and less than 1% CPU usage. Although I'm the only one using the instance.
Thanks, appreciated.
Edit
I assume you mean 1.35gb of network data per day ? As opposed to per minute / per second etc
Yeah that is the total amount of network data used since I set it up yesterday.
