What is the resource usage for PieFed? (piefed.social)

I've been considering launching a Lemmy server for a community lately, but am now back exploring piefed with the Lemm.ee shutdown.

I've read that Lemmy for some has been quite resource intensive and piefed was much easier on CPU and RAM. Is anyone able to share some metrics, say, for this server for reference?

It looks like documentation is better for piefed and the mod tools are better. I like the topics organization.

Downside is that the interstellar app didn't seem to have that feature built in.

Also, my phone really does not like the word piefed lol.

But I'm starting to consider whether to trim a piefed instance instead of Lemmy. Is there anything I should know ahead of time? Such as unexpected gotchas or federation issues with Lemmy?

I think it's only the local copy. I could apply this setting to remote communities. It would be nice if Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin could fetch old remote posts on-demand instead of always keeping a copy of it.
