Hey. I really like the idea of the fediverse and Lemmy and would want to know as a beginner/not so experienced regarding selfhosting what would be the best way to get started? I saw there are vps options, but don’t know of I’m looking in the right direction.

    Get a cheap linux VPS. My host provides 4 CPU sd and 8G for 8 eur per month which should be enough for something like 500 users.

    Then just run the ansible playbook. It will do everything for you

      thanks, in VPS, any red flag I should care for? Privacy, monitoring, etc?

        Very low bandwidth caps will be a problem with fediverse.

        Other than that, check your steal % once you have the VM. If it’s over 20% consistently, you’re being ripped off.
