I’m a nerd but not to the point I’m ready to install my own servers.

Is there a way for folks like me to set up and run a Lemmy, or is that reserved for the technical experts?

On the old site, I think one of the unspoken benefits was that anyone could create and run a sun

some instances let anyone create their own community (lemmy equivalent of subreddit)

I'd recommend tech experience before setting up your own lemmy server ( instance); the internet is a hostile place with random pcs poking servers 24/7

I'll second this for the most part. Once you get the basic framework of a docker host set up it's pretty simple with only a couple containers holding it up so if you can understand the workings of virtual machines/containers it's pretty 'easy' to set up. That said, an ugly XSS vulnerability has been out there causing problems and as a whole it's very much an unpolished product so there's a lot of work in understanding 'why the heck is it doing this now??' things.

Thank you, I guess I’ll need to look for an instance that lets people set up their own communities

Any recommendations?

I'll recommend my own instance at endlesstalk.org. There you can create a community, if you want. lemm.ee or sh.itjust.works might also allow creating of new communities, but I haven't checked.

Thanks, I’ll check it out!

It looks like you’re on lemmy.world. That instance let’s you create communities. If you’re viewing the site in your browser, tap the hamburger menu on the top right (3 horizontal lines) and select “Create Community”.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
