You can flash a pi and have a standalone individual instance. Computing power is growing, scaling grows too. We don’t have an option for stuff like AI today, but I could host my own Lemmy instance that only supports my household for $30. Site hugs can still happen but there are still solutions; seeding partitions is one way to resolve that, reposting requires rehosting.
