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.

yes, good suggestion, thank you - although before I do I'm going to spend a bit of time to see if I can isolate the problem - I just tested it from a mobile device and the local PC browser and it's working now. I used the exact same url, text and everything to create the post and I didn't change anything - didn't reboot, didn't even restart the browser. Except for the fact that it's intermittent, it looks like some kind of js or css problem, but I need to replicate it and if I do that, I'll probably be able to figure it out.
