Skills and resources. The fact that Beehaw is slammed with only 451 users per day shows that running a Lemmy instance is pretty compute-intensive, so you’ll need some beefy hardware.
I do but dunno if I have the time or energy, as it would not only be the tech part, you’d have to also moderate the place yourself and I’m very averse to do that sort of thing again
I’m working on getting my instance up and running. I’m worried that by the time I do, I’ll get slammed with new account registrations and won’t be able to get things running smoothly.
¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
Are there docs or docker containers out there already for this? Anyone with an unraid server could be offloaded to their own instances if it gets published in their community apps store (it just needs a config file to make it work on there IIRC).
If you’re here and you have the technical skills, please consider running your own instance. Beehaw and lemmy.ml are getting slammed.
As an addition, this list can be interesting for potential new joiners looking for a smaller instance to register https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances

Are there any hosting providers for Lemmy yet, like Masto.host and Spacebear offer for other federated software?
There’s at least one mad scramble going on to create one. Probably several.
Would love to know if/when it happens

That’s really my main concern too. Also, I am already on call at my day job, I’d rather not sign up to do that for a passion project too.
One thing I’ve thought of is trying to set up a an instance that mirrors some subreddits via RSS. No comments though, because API access.
If you don’t have time or energy, but do have money, consider donating to this instance or others that vibe with what you’re looking for! 💜

Would also be nice if anyone able to selfhost some kbin instances, since theres not really many right now outside of the official https://kbin.social
kbin looks nice, though this is the first I’m hearing of it 🧐

There’s actually an Ansible playbook for it, that will deploy Docker containers. It’s pretty easy. Edit some configs, run the playbook and boom!
