How do I start my own Lemmy instance? (lemmygrad.ml)

Help me out.

I want to start a Lemmy with a focus on American and Indigenous history through a communist lens.

Among other things.

I'm willing to learn coding, tbf.

I’ve never run Lemmy myself. It would be somewhat easy for me to run it, but that’s only because this kind of stuff was my job. But even then I’m sure it would be a lot of work. People who say it’s easy don’t remember how much latent knowledge they already have that makes it easy for them.

This search returns no hits, so I wouldn’t even consider running it on Windows: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/index.html?search=windows

Lemmy isn’t just this one app that you run; it’s several that interoperate with each other, including a database server (PostgreSQL):

$ curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/main/docker/docker-compose.yml | yq '.services | keys'
[
  "lemmy",
  "lemmy-ui",
  "pictrs",
  "postgres",
  "proxy"
]

Each of the above represents its own Linux virtual machine running one or more services.

Yeah, there's the rub; it's like a boomer forgetting what he went through when he was young or in his twenties/thirties.

"Lemmy isn’t just this one app that you run; it’s several that interoperate with each other, including a database server (PostgreSQL):"

Right off the bat, that sounds more complicated.
