I’m thinking about self-hosting my own Lemmy server and I probably have too many questions than answers. But maybe some simple ones… do server owners get to set the amount of days a post can be retained before it’s deleted or are there defaults baked into the software package?

Can server owners restrict image sizes or the number of images that can be uploaded?

Can a server owner restrict the creation of new communities? I’m curious how granular permissions can get.

Would I be better off hosting my own instance to get some of these questions answered? 😁

Thanks in advance!

I’m trying to get an idea of how much throughput a single Lemmy node can handle along with a max # of users per instance. Does Lemmy.World provide specs on the hardware they use to host the instance or how many simultaneous current and active users a single node can handle?
