Comment on Single instance Lemmy?

  1. It seems to make a LOT of calls to other servers. Its almost constantly pinging other servers asking for updates.

The fediverse works the other way around: other instances push activities to yours. If you have a lot of subcriptions to large communities like !technology@lemmy.world it will indeed receive a lot of activities.

  1. It gets de-federated almost instantly from popular instances. Which kinda sucks.

Mine’s not been defederated from anywhere, not even Beehaw

  1. It uses up quite a bit of CPU compared to other federated applications.

It definitely uses a fair bit of CPU but it is ingesting a fair amount of data, but still not a ton either:

Lemmy resource usage

Although I do hear PieFed is a lot lighter.

  1. Subscribing to instances seems to work most of the time, but sometimes it just errors out and I have to re-do it.

That settled for me after a week or so of running mine. My subscriptions always go through.
