is there an easy way for non-technical experts to set up their own Lemmy
I’m a nerd but not to the point I’m ready to install my own servers.
Is there a way for folks like me to set up and run a Lemmy, or is that reserved for the technical experts?
On the old site, I think one of the unspoken benefits was that anyone could create and run a sun
You're viewing a single thread.
some instances let anyone create their own community (lemmy equivalent of subreddit)
I'd recommend tech experience before setting up your own lemmy server ( instance); the internet is a hostile place with random pcs poking servers 24/7
I'll second this for the most part. Once you get the basic framework of a docker host set up it's pretty simple with only a couple containers holding it up so if you can understand the workings of virtual machines/containers it's pretty 'easy' to set up. That said, an ugly XSS vulnerability has been out there causing problems and as a whole it's very much an unpolished product so there's a lot of work in understanding 'why the heck is it doing this now??' things.
Thank you, I guess I’ll need to look for an instance that lets people set up their own communities
Any recommendations?
I'll recommend my own instance at endlesstalk.org. There you can create a community, if you want. lemm.ee or sh.itjust.works might also allow creating of new communities, but I haven't checked.
Thanks, I’ll check it out!
It looks like you’re on lemmy.world. That instance let’s you create communities. If you’re viewing the site in your browser, tap the hamburger menu on the top right (3 horizontal lines) and select “Create Community”.
