Hey
I have created a quick and easy way to host lemmy and other federated communities. This website allows you to host lemmy or any other federated community with single click. Things like security, scalability are handled automatically.
You don’t need to learn cloud or need to know how to work with Linux or need a PC. Quick host it with your phone and get done with it :)
The idea with this we’ll have more instances of lemmy and better community reach as this is removing the technical know how from entire process. :D
I’ll giving away few accounts on this service as getting started process.

Quick And Easy To Host Federated Communities
Have any technical details on how this works? And are you planning on charging for the service?
this is early testing phase. I have created and deployed a lemmy server and mattermost modules successfully and it works great.
technical details: all this works via cloud instances kinda like architecture, i create a instance (container or vm based on software req) and launch automated scripts to setup everything so people don’t have to mess up working with insecure configurations. The backend api is golang and frontend is vuejs. I also have a WAF and security protocols to mitigate basic security flaws and botnet attacks. I need feedback on what our oss community surfers the most when hosting federated communities.
business side: I dont intend to charge for things in testing phase cause all i need is good feedback but as the server demands grows i’ll be working with whatever you’ll be paying for private instance (idk like $2 a month ?).
motivation: people use proprietary products cause they are already hosted and just avaiable. If we make this with oss products people will start using it. Making lemmy easy to setup will boost more community interaction and make lifes of current community mods easier :)
