Which to host for a single user instance: lemmy or kbin (or others)? (lemmy.ml)

what is better for single user instance, or maybe something small like under 10 users (no communities)? which is lighter on resources? how much storage should I allocate?

any alternatives to lemmy and kbin that are still somewhat similar?

I have had no success yet trying to run kbin behind traefik, so I am on lemmy right now. Works pretty well actually.

However I don't seem to be able to subscribe to kbin magazines. I can see lemmy sending out the follow message to the kbin servers' inbox, no error messages, but no activity from the kbin server follows up and it stays at 'subscription pending'.

Tried it with quite a few kbin instances. Does it work for someone else? Trying to find the reason why they do not like my lemmy instance.

Same here. I haven't been able to fully subscribe to anything on Kbin. Running my own lemmy instance and I get the magazine added as a community and get the magazine description but subscribing never returns anything. I re-try every once in a while but noting so far. I assume it will be fixed sometime in the future. I may just set up a kbin instance as well but I don't want to manage both.

I’ve been trying to debug this as well so it’s not just you.
