    I sadly don’t have the moneys for it. We essentially just need a vps (soemone else’s computer, for which we pay them for (for a lemmy instance, we need a very simple small machine, but lots of storage, around a tb or so. What many instances do is instead of purchasing a server with large storage, they buy a small server, and buy storage somewhere else seperately (something like amazon s3)) this would be in ball park of (5 + 25)*12 = 360 USD per year and domain name (which as per your request must have some asiatic feel, so some asian country tld (top level domain)) 10-20 usd. beyond that, procedure is somewhat simple, and well documented.

    Honestly when you posted, I initially missed the “instance” part and thought you meant community, hence i jumped into saying that lets make 1 ( i thought you were looking for interest for a community) but when i read your reply, i re read the title, and hit the wall. Sorry in case i killed your excitement.

        Yeah, in your own always on computer that has proper power backup so it never goes down, even in blackout war times, and that maintains internet connectivity without losing it for a second. Or you get a virtual server in a hosted place like Hetzner or something.

        Edit - does the country/region where an instance is hosted really matter?
