Hi all!

This is my first post from my self-hosted Lemmy instance!

Thanks all you guys who gave me suggestions and help!

Hope you can see it, BTW :)

    I also started with Lemmy on a small VPS where I run a lot of other services for me and my family. Every update of Lemmy somehow needed more and more resources to run, so many in fact that it would overload my small VPS. I think it is because Lemmy is designed to be run for å huge amount of users, so it has quite a overhead at first just to be able to handle very many users later.

    And because I didn’t want to upgrade my server and make it more expensive, I decided to try PieFed which has from the start been concentrating on having a small footprint on the server.

    And that played off emensly, not only was I able to keep running on a small VPS for cheap, but I also found an amazingly open developer community around PieFed on Matrix.

      Thank you, might take a look into it as well, but for the time being Lemmy seems to be working fine on my home server (not an underpowered VPS indeed, but not an enterprise-grade server either)
