    Is it light to host? I am thinking about offering piefed too.

      Maybe @rimu@piefed.social can chime in here. I don’t host an piefed instance.

      Sorry, didn’t see this question earlier.

      It is low on server resources. When subscribed to 700 communities (which causes a lot of incoming traffic), CPU load average is < 1. Uses about 1.5 GB of RAM (including postgresql and redis) and disk usage after 2 months of operation is only 3.5 GB.

      Today someone contributed docker configuration and a docker-compose file, which could help with setup. However documentation is limited so it’s not really ready for widespread deployment.
