We’ve updated Lemmy.world to Lemmy 0.18.1.

Is there a quality guide for how to do this? Preferably hosted rather than my home server.
Use the ansible Lemmy install, it’s very simple and will also create https certs and everything. But you need a domain first, pointed at your hosted server ip address.

So basically:
- Buy domain
- Rent a server somewhere (hetzner is great and cheap).
- Point domain at server ip.
- Use the ansible install against your server to install everything.
That’s pretty much it. The ansible install takes care of everything.
Then you need to subscribe to some other instance community from your instance so other instances know you exist, for federation to work.
How much power does it take to run an instance? Not planning on hosting my own, just curious. I read stories about people being able to host a Mastodon instance on a Raspberry Pi.
Perhaps point me one that you, in your judgment, think is particularly good?
