I am not a computer engineer or a software developer. I have never set up a server in my life. I want to set up a server on my old computer by watching videos and doing the same things that were done. Is there a video that will tell me how to set up our own server as if I were 5 years old? Edit: To host my own lemmy account

    You don’t need your own server for a Lemmy account. Just register on any existing instance.

    If you want to host your own instance, what’s your goal with it? It’s not just set-and-forget, you will have to maintain it against bots, attacks, keep it online, keep it backed up, keep it updated, and so on.
