@neodb Tbf, I couldn't find any listed hardware requirements so I mostly judged it by apparent scale. The flagship instance looks quite large, and as you presumably know, building applications that can scale up to tens of thousands of users, but also scale down to below 10, is challenging. I run this single-user Mastodon instance that I'm on and, proportionally speaking, the resource requirements are absurd.
In the end I guess I'd have to give it a try to know for sure. 😀
