If you want to host and manage your own Lemmy instance but are intimidated by the technical requirements, I can help!

I am a software developer by craft and a linux system admin by hobby. I cannot commit to moderating and managing my own instance, but I would be glad to help someone with the technical aspects.

The most common complaint I saw in Reddit and here about switching to Lemmy is the difficulty of setting it up, so I thought I would help bridge this gap.

While I have never hosted my own instance before, I already checked the setup guide and it looks pretty simple to me, so I am confident I can do it. Please feel free to comment or DM.

It would be great if you can comment general questions. I can then respond to you here and maybe others will see it and know how to host their own instances too.

  • I've been playing with my own single-user instance here using Docker. Mostly I just followed the Lemmy docs. It's been nice & responsive and takes barely any resources, so far. I think this system can really benefit from a lot of small instances to spread the load.
