I am fairly new to Lemmy and was thinking of getting an account on one of the “big” servers to get the full experience, but then I figured I could do exactly the same thing as with my GoToSocial and other services: run my own instance.
I am wondering if this is an overkill or not. Any experience running your own small Lemmy instance? Are there better options that are compatible with Lemmy but lighter to run for this purpose?

I was in the same boat, so I’ll leave you with this golden nugget you probably want to check out:
certbot
Even better: Caddy.
As simple and easy to run as nginx, and has built-in cert management.
