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

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.

It's easy from the docker from what I can tell, the bare metal / vps is a bit more as more manual pieces but nothing too crazy. I just submitted a pull request for the admin guide so that should help a bit for less head bashing... Though my instance doesn't seem to be federating so that's a new problem for tomorrow.
