    How much power does it take to run an instance? Not planning on hosting my own, just curious. I read stories about people being able to host a Mastodon instance on a Raspberry Pi.

      Yeah it doesn’t take much for a small instance. My instance uses 1 GB of memory and like 2% cpu on each core (got 3 cores). But I only have a handful of active users.
