Its now running on a dedicated server with 6 cores/12 threads and 32 gb ram. I hope this will be enough for the near future. Nevertheless, new users should still prefer to signup on other instances.
I was wondering the same thing. I initially created an account on some obscure instance because I didn't fully understand what I was doing. I just abandoned it and set up a new one on lemmy world. I think I'm getting the hang of it now. I'm curious to see how Lemmy grows and matures over time. There is still a learning curve that will keep some people away.
