    Instance management is a much more important commitment than moderation, though.

    It’s important but it isn’t a huge amount of work, especially if you have a good team to spread the load.

      It also helps that I am running a managed instance hosting business, and I should be more comfortable doing this than the average hobbyist?

        Yes, I’d imagine there are efficiencies to doing that - we inherited a thriving medium-sized instance so, despite one of the team having spun up their own Lemmy instance, there was a lot of “learning on the job” required to get everything humming along nicely. I imagine that, with more experience it becomes easier.
