Pretty straight question.
I see Lemm.ee is now the second most populated instance based on https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list, with 3634 monthly active users.
I also know that Lemmy devs said that
lemmy.ml is bigger than beehaw, and only costs 80 euros per month for a dedicated server.

As lemmy.ml has 3561 monthly active users, should we consider that around 3,5k-4k users is the sweet spot for an instance population, and stop recommending the ones that reached that threshold?
Have they gave the specs used to run it? I’m really curious.
In this comment https://lemmy.world/comment/881738 from a month ago ruud said it’s one of these https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ax161
