Wondering if running a single user Lemmy is an overkill (lemmy.erick.sh)

I am fairly new to Lemmy and was thinking of getting an account on one of the "big" servers to get the full experience, but then I figured I could do exactly the same thing as with my GoToSocial and other services: run my own instance.

I am wondering if this is an overkill or not. Any experience running your own small Lemmy instance? Are there better options that are compatible with Lemmy but lighter to run for this purpose?

Running "my" own single user instance here.

Great! Love it! The whole idea.

    For how long and how do resource usage and storage space used look by now?

    Disk space 10gb, CPU/ram not noticeable on my server (lots of other services using more than Lemmy).

    I think it's been up about one year. One user but I subscribe to all communities I find remotely interesting.

    Thanks for the reply. So what kind of magnitude are we talking on the RAM usage here? Some people here talked about not being able to fit it inside 2G total. So I assume it's probably like hundreds of megs which is only really significant in such low memory configurations.
