Running a Lemmy instance (discuss.tchncs.de)

I wonder what the stats on running a lemmy instance are.

How much time needs to be invested, how much data storage is needed, what kind of traffic volume is to be expected?

I suspect that it depends on if you're accepting other users and or communities. If so, you'll have to be global mod and probably spend time sorting out mod reports etc.

If you're just setting up an instance for yourself, it's probably easier but you'll need an account somewhere else to discover communities and index them back to your instance.
