post from @cyclohexane@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.

I tried to make it clear but just in case I didn't manage to, this is a cross post of someone else's post on kbin. I personally do not know anything about this but I thought it would be of interest. Maybe someone else will have some insight but if you click the post you can see the original with lots of comments.

Ah understood, apologies!

[–] crank@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

no need to apologize! I just want you to have a good chance to get your question answered. ;)

I am not sure how to clearly crosspost here....
