Lemmy does seem to have enough content and user engagement for my needs. I've noticed engagement going up the past month but wasn't sure I was making that up in my head.

I really haven't felt the need to go back to reddit much. But the niche communities could use a lot more users posting and creating new content.

Not sure how the happened haha. Thanks for the call out!

It depends on what you plan on running and how much RAM each VM would potentially need. I run proxmox on my 11th gen NUC with 64GB of RAM, 8 VMs, 1TB nvme for VMs, and 500GB SSD for OS. I have had no problems for my workloads and have a bit more room for more.

I consider this lazy programming. I've had it happen a few times but luckily it has been rare for me.
