Is there any benefit to host my own instance?

    You’re talking about Lemmy, right?

    I provisioned an Ubuntu 22.02 server at Linode. I chose their 2 GB Shared CPU instance type. Once I configured the server to my liking, I ran through the Lemmy-Ansible instructions. (They have other methods, so check the documentation.)

    Essentially, you install Ansible on your workstation. I’m on macOS and installed it via Homebrew. You then download their git repository, create the necessary configuration files, and then have Ansible configure the server. It was fairly simple.

      I may go that route. I was wanting to host my own server but I feel like it would be easier to just use a cloud server
