I posted a little while ago that I was having trouble installing pict-rs. (Using Linode VPS with Yunohost install of Lemmy). I kept trying to figure things out and now it has all shit the bed. Is there anyone here that would take a small $40 payment to just get it up and running fully for me? (Hoping the database can still be saved, but if it can't not the worst.) #frustrated If $40 isn't enough let me know what's fair.
I started with the yunohost install as well but decided to migrate to the officially supported docker install when I had issues with upgrades or had to wait for the ynh package to catch up.
Although I don't want to take your money and bear the responsability of handling the migration, I could give you some pointers.
Because you could, just like on reddit, for most intends of usage just make a couple communities on a reliable and (to you) trustworthy lemmy server. It's not like they are at capacity or something like that atm. You'll still be able to moderate them, make the rules etc.
I'm trying to align its use with a Mastodon instance of the same topic. I'm only allowing people on that instance who are part of the industry. I'm not interested in having anonymous people on the Mastodon instance or the Lemmy instance so that the local feeds will be civilized.
