i’ve got an RPi4 not doing much legwork atm. is there an easy way to install and host lemmy on it? if not, maybe a mastodon instance?

    Oh! it’s right there in the documentation “Supports arm64 / Raspberry Pi.”.

    Now I just need to figure out how to install docker (for the third time) :D

    I haven’t looked at Pleroma too closely. It just seemed near identical to Mastodon but with a less appealing interface. If it runs well on a Pi4 together with Lemmy, then it makes a lot more sense. Maybe I could also run a writefreely instance?

    My main concern was dealing with compiling etc, since I don’t know the technical aspects too much. A lot of stuff I’ve tried to setup on my pi with installation guides tends to fail half way through. Which is why it doesn’t get a lot of use.
