Over the next week or so I’m sure a lot of people are going to try spinning up Lemmy instances - I’ve certainly been looking at it.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a VPS provider / resource allocation?
From what I have read, it sounds like you’re going to want a host that focuses on storage / bandwidth (at least if you are allowing image upload), but maybe those of you already operating an instance have a different opinion?
I’ve used digital ocean with minimal fuss. I should write a start to finish guide on getting Lemmy going with one of their premade droplets.
Yes please! As a frontend dev I’m interested in contributing to the UI or writing my own, but I’m pretty lost when it comes to setting this stuff up to test it all out
This is a very basic first pass, let me know if this is helpful to you, and if not, where you end up getting stuck: https://novakeith.net/2023/06/14/setting-up-lemmy-on-a-digital-ocean-droplet/
If you ever get around to that guide I’d love a link.
