Use the ansible Lemmy install, it's very simple and will also create https certs and everything. But you need a domain first, pointed at your hosted server ip address.

So basically:
That's pretty much it. The ansible install takes care of everything.
Then you need to subscribe to some other instance community from your instance so other instances know you exist, for federation to work.
Awesome, thanks.
How much power does it take to run an instance? Not planning on hosting my own, just curious. I read stories about people being able to host a Mastodon instance on a Raspberry Pi.
Yeah it doesn't take much for a small instance. My instance uses 1 GB of memory and like 2% cpu on each core (got 3 cores). But I only have a handful of active users.
