I tried earlier today and I had no luck actually getting an instance running

It would help if the explanation was specific to a raspberry pi

    Alright, thanks for trying to help. Will I need ssh on my main pc to get it to work on my pi?

      It should already be there if it’s a Win or Linux, you just need to enable SSH on the pi, then you can remote into it by running this from a command line / shell:

      ssh [email protected]

      Where ‘pi’ is your user on your pi, and ‘1.2.3.4’ is the IP address or hostname for the pi.

      Just want to add too that installing and hosting something like Lemmy is not really a beginner task. I’m not trying to discourage, quite the opposite. You should just know this will be a challenging endeavor, but will be rewarding once you do complete it, and you will learn a lot in the process.

      No not really. You first enable it on the raspberry pie. Then you access your raspberry pie from your normal computer by running this command in your command line or shell: ssh [email protected] where ‘user’ is your raspberry pi user (pi by default), and ‘1.2.3.4’ is the ip address of the pi.

          You can SSH using command line. I do have a Windows Pro license, but I THINK that it’s not exclusive to Pro…

              Yeah I also installed putty a long time ago, I forget if it was actually necessary or if I was just afraid of command line back then.

      Yeah, legit, I’ve messed around with this kind of thing before, and I wouldn’t attempt to run lemmy myself. Major pain in the ass.
