Do you have any advice, recommendations, and/or tips for someone wanting to host a public/non-personal Lemmy instance? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm not sure if this post should instead be put in !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml, rather than here; please let me know if this would be better suited there, and/or if it is out of the scope of this community. Also, please let me know if there is a different community, other than where it has already been posted, in which this post would be better suited.

Topics could include (this list is not intending to be exhaustive — if you think something is relevant, then please don't hesitate to share it):

  • Moderation
  • Handling of illegal content
  • Server structure (system requirements, configs, layouts, etc.)
  • Community transparency/communication
  • Server maintenance (updates, scaling, etc.)

You should probably also have more than one person with access to the server, to avoid the problems we had with feddit.de .

Which problems are you referring to?

[–] nichtburningturtle@feddit.org 7 points 1 week ago

The head admin / owner disappeared, which lead to the server eventually breaking and later completely dying.
