Interesting stats from my single person instance. Right now it knows 194730 fediverse users, on 8799 instances. It stores 3652744 posts, and gets about 71000 new posts every day. The PostgreSQL database is about 10 gigs, but the compressed database dump I take as a backup is only 851 megs. It needs about 4 gigs of memory to be happy. Since starting this instance a few months ago, I've made 1255 posts.

@fastfinge You have your own instance? Do you argue with yourself? Because that would be cool.

@mcourcel Nah, I just wanted to use my interfree.ca domain in my handle and that was the only way.

@fastfinge @mcourcel Yeah I did similar for this reason. Are you running Mastodon or a lightweight alternative? I'm running Mastodon via Cloudron.

@andrew @mcourcel I’m running iceshrimp.net. It’s not really about lighter resource use, I just don’t want to contribute to the Mastodon monoculture on the fediverse; we know what happens when one software dominates. And when I was looking, Go To Social didn’t support push notifications.

@fastfinge @mcourcel Yeah one reason I went with Mastodon was it was what Cloudron supported which is the control panel I'm using on this server right now. I note you're using Cosmo which I haven't seen before and it consumes standard Docker images. How have you found that to use? Are you running any other apps with that or just your Iceshrimp instance?

@andrew @mcourcel The nice thing about cosmos is that it keeps in sync with docker and docker compose. So you can use the web UI for everything it supports, and revert to the command line for the more advanced bits. But what you did on the command line will be reflected in the UI.
