i've got an RPi4 not doing much legwork atm. is there an easy way to install and host lemmy on it? if not, maybe a mastodon instance?

Oh! it's right there in the documentation "Supports arm64 / Raspberry Pi.".

Now I just need to figure out how to install docker (for the third time) :D

I haven't looked at Pleroma too closely. It just seemed near identical to Mastodon but with a less appealing interface. If it runs well on a Pi4 together with Lemmy, then it makes a lot more sense. Maybe I could also run a writefreely instance?

My main concern was dealing with compiling etc, since I don't know the technical aspects too much. A lot of stuff I've tried to setup on my pi with installation guides tends to fail half way through. Which is why it doesn't get a lot of use.

You can use the Mastodon interface with Pleroma.

Yes WriteFreely is super lightweight, should be no problem at all.

I guess with beginner level skills is it better to use Yunohost or Freedombox on the RPi4. I guess there is also a fediverse server for either of those.
