Hey

I have created a quick and easy way to host lemmy and other federated communities. This website allows you to host lemmy or any other federated community with single click. Things like security, scalability are handled automatically.

You don’t need to learn cloud or need to know how to work with Linux or need a PC. Quick host it with your phone and get done with it :)

The idea with this we’ll have more instances of lemmy and better community reach as this is removing the technical know how from entire process. :D

I’ll giving away few accounts on this service as getting started process.

    $2/month per instance? That won’t even cover your server costs at the cheapest provider that you can’t think off. What about storage? Taxes? Payment processor fees? Your labor?

      for one instace you’re correct but this will work when i have several instances running medium size applications.

      for someone running a application which have 1k active monthly users this won’t work.

      For labour am the only one working on it and I don’t intend on profit for now just cutting even.

        So your idea is to oversubscribe your servers with the expectation that no one will notice?

        Not only this is a disgusting practice, it won’t happen at the scale you’d need. Hosting fediverse applications are not like hosting low traffic blog sites, even instances with a few daily active users will require 1-2 gigs of RAM and tens of gigs of storage.

          you’re talking about problems i haven’t thought about yet. am not charging anything right now am trying to build. If more resources are required I’ll allocate and charge them.

          further am not getting much interest from community so far, I’ll repurpose it or make it some oss project, lol

            You are not getting interest from the community because you jumped into coding before even checking how the business would work. I’m all for experimenting and trying things out in practice before overthinking and over-designing, but in this case it would definitely help you if you did some dogfodding and ran an instance for yourself before offering for others.

              you’re right. I’ll run a server myself for some time. I have setup for lemmy and matrix so I’ll start with them.
