Would there be interest in having someone maintain the infrastructure/scaling/security/load balancing of a Lemmy instance, while handing off the moderation duties to someone else? (lemmy.ml)

I'm nearly of a mind to start a couple of Lemmy instances and front them with a load balancer--I have the resources and technical ability to build a Lemmy instance for scale--but I have zero interest in moderating the thing. I don't want to deal with the headache of everything that goes along with that, and don't want any responsibility for the users or content.

Would anyone be interested in a 'Lemmy Infra as-a-Service,' where I keep things running but hand off the management keys to you?

How is Lemmy supposed to replace Reddit? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I want Lemmy to succeed, I want to be optimistic about it as an alternative to Reddit, but OP is correct, and we need to be honest about this very simple fact:

The Reddit we knew and loved is gone, and that’s a sad, tragic thing, and there likely won’t be a 1:1 replacement for a long time, if ever.

It’s okay to admit to ourselves that this whole situation sucks, because it absolutely does. That doesn’t mean that we can’t enjoy Lemmy and other federated things like it, and it doesn’t mean that federation doesn’t have advantages over Reddit, but let’s be honest: most of us were happy at Reddit, using our favorite 3rd party app (like Apollo), and we wouldn’t be here if the admins weren’t happy to kill what we once loved.

All we can do is try to make the best of it.
