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.

An up to date step by step instruction for docker, ansible, or scratch setup would be a fantastic step in the right direction. I'm not a complete moron, but I feel the current guides are lacking. There's a lot of assumptions on the admins knowledge of the associated systems beforehand. As someone else said, the first to make a turnkey solution... hot dog. Would absolutely blast adoption into space.
