it's really easy, I spun up my own instance in a morning. Ok, I am a sysadmin and programmer, but it really wasn't very difficult and didn't require much beyond creating a VPS and DNS entry along with basic abilities at the command line to use the ansible playbook.
I actually have an old file server under my desk I'm tinkering with and using for my nextcloud I'm just paranoid that I won't have it set up properly in terms of the security I have on it otherwise i would have spun up a Lemmy instance weeks ago lol. I've daily driven Arch Linux on my gaming desktop for years at this point so I'm not exactly unfamiliar with a command line.
