I already have accounts on two instances, but both of them are currently experiencing significant slowdowns. As a result, I’m searching for an alternative instance, preferably one that is not facing any load issues.

    I’m thinking of doing the same, just for a few users like my and my family to interact with the rest of the world. I’m just worried how much resources this will need. How much RAM + CPU are you seeing in your small instance?

      I ended up going with Linode’s 2 GB Shared CPU option. I think it’s possible to go with a smaller option, considering Lemmy doesn’t have heavy requirements. I’m comfortable with what I have, and it’s probably good for database cache.
