Is there a video that will tell me how to set up our own server as if I were 5 years old? (lemmy.world)

I am not a computer engineer or a software developer. I have never set up a server in my life. I want to set up a server on my old computer by watching videos and doing the same things that were done. Is there a video that will tell me how to set up our own server as if I were 5 years old? We will be very happy if someone who knows can prepare this video and share it with us. Edit:To host my own "lemmy" account

For those interested, while it's not a video as OP requests, there are a number of self-hosting communities across the fediverse that are likely down for teaching folks, and may have some resources to help learn about the practice.

A few that come up as I type !selfh- are:
!selfhosted@lemmy.world
!selfhost@lemmy.ml
!selfhosted@lemmy.ml
!selfhosting@slrpnk.net
!selfhosted@kbin.social
!selfhosting@compuverse.uk

And for Lemmy specifically, there appears to be:
!selfhosting_lemmy@lmmy.net

However that last one only one has one post (not visible from lemmy.world atm because networking is fun), and seems to be on an instance someone may be just experimenting with. Not sure.
