   I must be doing something wrong.

   "Mastodon averages about 1GB of RAM for running processes, suggesting a box with about 1.5GB would be sufficient."

   https://sharpletters.net/2023/03/01/mastodon-resource-optimization

   Best I can do, for a single-user server, is a bit under 3GB RAM used.

   I followed a few other guides, including:

   - https://gist.github.com/nolanlawson/fc027de03a7cc0b674dcdc655eb5f2cb
   - https://blog.thms.uk/2024/01/pg-repack-mastodon

   Would love to hear from other folks running their own single-user Mastodon server about their experience.

     @stefan I'm using more than double that...but I'm pretty much Linux illiterate at run this instance via guides on the web and I have lots of relays.

     I'm sure it's horribly unoptimized, but I know nothing about how to fix that.

     I'm even on an older "unsupported" Ubuntu version but idk how to fix that either.😂🤦♂️

     The only thing I'm decent at, is talking a lot until people just stop listening.🤣

     @stefan also, it should be noted that it's also dependent on the amount of follow relationships you have. Which you have quite a few, so I say you're doing okay.

     @BeAware Yeah, I mentioned in another thread this might be affecting things, but I have no idea how much. Hoping to see more replies from folks sharing their own numbers!
