yep, im in the same boat. i just have my little instance for personal use.

I have the server capacity if someone else wants to manage it.

would it be cool to set up a lemmy instance on that domain? have a bunch of related communities on it?

im happy to set up a relatively hefty VM on my lab, but dont really have the time to manage the instance.

Do you have tls set to true in your config? First thing to check.

** # Whether the site is available over TLS. Needs to be true for federation to work. tls_enabled: true**
