The Ansible install does make things a lot more simple, but it's still pretty involved if you're new to self-hosting in general. For example, you might need to set up an SMTP relay if you can't port forward a workable port, and you also will probably want to change your Nginx configs to allow uploading larger images than a single megabyte.
Huh? What do you need to do there?
The max_client_body_size setting in a few of the nginx config files needs increased. I don't have the link handy, but it's basically something you need to edit in both the /srv/lemmy internal config and several of the nginx external ones. The external ones are in a standard path for nginx installs, so a quick look for help on StackOverflow is how I got mine sorted.
