I'm looking to wind up a lemmy instance for a subreddit that I mod that gets something like 1000 daily visitors. We mainly share photos, though daily visitors greatly outweighs active users. It would additionally not be federated. For personal security reasons, and home networking limitations, I want to find a web host. Could anyone suggest one of the many hosts out there would work best for someone in the US, won't drive me to the poor house, and can support these needs? I can afford like $40/month, or can buy years in advance if it's a good deal.

digitial ocean droplet. With the ansible playbook mine was up in 20min. But... why not just run a forum if its not federated

We like the reddit-adjacent function in lemmy compared to a standard bbs.

But dont you lose that if your not federated. Or you mean like a private reddit style system
