Comment on Every Country That Has Their Own Lemmy Instance
fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months agoIve searched everywhere for an Arab/middle eastern instance, and the only one I could find was a fucking Turkish one (that I think is dead too lmao). I’d do it my self but L + no money + too lazy

Hosting your own instance starts off with paying out of pocket then once you set up donations from the community those dollars would fund most of the operating costs. However as the instance gets larger the economies of scale improve and eventually you may have some money leftover to put aside. You could also sell merch of the logos like stickers to help with keeping the lights on.
A lemmy instance needs a domain name, a host and a smtp email for notifications.
I wonder what the Lemmy.world server operations are like.

Interesting thank you. Personally I’m too westernized (not even western, just spend too much time around them lol) to run a whole instance for it, but I’ll keep an eye for it
