I’m wondering how are all those different Lemmy instances financed? I know some rely on donations, but is that all and is that sustainable?

Did you follow some sort of guide. I have some spare dell 730xd in my barn I wouldn’t mind tossing into my rack again. I just don’t have a clue on setting up an instance. I would also have to get this thing on its own vlan for obv reasons. Or a DMZ.

No plan just moving ahead one error after another :-D

I was fresh to dockers, nginx, setting up a certificate for Https... but eventually it happened.

The community helped me a lot too.
