As the question states. I have the skiils and know how to setup a new instsnce and from looking through the documentation its relatively straight forward. Im just wondering would it actually help the fediverse and lemmy as a whole? There seems to already be plenty of instances to choose from. What are your guys thoughts?

That's what I do as of a couple days ago, it's working pretty ok so far.

What does it realistically take to host that? Would one of them smaller Digitalocean droplets be enough, for example?

I run an instance on a 2 core 4gb vps, I think the disk space will be the thing that I'll run out of

30 reg'd accounts and about 10 active users

How fast is your storage filling up with 10 active users?

MIne's on a 1 core 2gb Linode, but I am also the only user.
