If I want to have my own lemmy instance, but I dont want to admin, update, or secure it, is there a provider hosting lemmy as a service?

    Elastio offers it apparently: https://elest.io/open-source/lemmy. But they offer many managed services so who knows how good their managing of Lemmy is/would be (I have not used it).

    On the other hand, I’ve considered setting up something like this myself. I run my own instance for my own personal use in a Kubernetes cluster, but did the hosting such that everything is scalable to many instances if need be. I just don’t know how much interest there would be in people wanting their own instances to make it worth my time to build out an admin/billing portal and automate it all. If anyone else is interested in this I’d love to know though since it could be a fun project to work on.

      Great! Thanks for the information on Elastio.

      If you were to make a turn key service for Lemmy hosting, I’d be super interested personally. I’d simply like to plug in my domain name, and pay a monthly fee (ideally with Monero, but credit card is ok too).

    This is more of a support question, related to using/hosting Lemmy. Please see the sidebar for a list of communities that offer support. Removing under rule #3.
