I like your profile picture. Kind of unnerves me though!

Reading this post should be helpful.

In my case I looked at the welcome post of my instance (lemm.ee) when it was still small and could tell it was definitely a good instance to choose.

You’ll probably experience more performance issues if you choose larger instances. On the other hand, it’s harder to know how reliable and stable smaller instances are.

I was looking to see if someone mentioned Helix. It has good defaults and useful features integrated out of the box.
