In a recent post @jerry posted the specs of this server and it's mind-bogglingly huge. Not even my gaming PC compares to it. Is it just mbin being mbin or are other fediverse servers also this big?

yes, im sure of there were full-time devs like lemmy it would be more performant.

i agree the minimum specified requirements (2core/8gb) would be enough for a single user subscribing to a more limited list of communities. its scaling to many users where things go sideways...

if i ever get to more than say 150 mau i would break out my services into front/back end servers and throw in some load balancing. the idea of all my eggs in one basket makes the sysadmin in me nervous.

it sounds like they almost (or do by now) have a working docker implementation that would make a single-user instance easy to implement.
