Heya, I’m trying out Lemmy and kinda like the idea of hosting a Lemmy instance just for me.
I was wondering:
- What are the hardware/bandwidth requirements for a single user instance?
- I know different instances can black list each other, but can they whitelist each other too? I don’t want to be automatically unable to see interact with certain instances.
- Has anyone else done this and have thoughts to share?
- What about doing the same for Mastodon?

Lemmy’s allowlist feature is generally recommended against. It limits federation to only that list, which makes discoverability harder than it already is.
For a self-serving instance, it’s more tenable to use a blocklist and federate normally.
