what is better for single user instance, or maybe something small like under 10 users (no communities)? which is lighter on resources? how much storage should I allocate?
any alternatives to lemmy and kbin that are still somewhat similar?
While I quite enjoy the Interface of KBin over Lemmy. It seems Lemmy uses a lot less resources based on the “Admin Guides” for each service. Lemmy: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/administration.html
KBin: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/wiki#user-content-admin-guide
Yeah, kbin seems to be a php8 service vs a compiled rust service from some lite poking.
Lemmy should be lighter on resources, since it’s written in Rust.
I’m a PHP developer, I prefer PHP but I’m probably going to be going with Lemmy since it’s more refined currently.
