I have an idea (not sure if it’s a good or bad one) that has been bouncing around my head for a while like an itch that I can’t properly scratch. Would like to set up a PieFed community to try it, or possibly an Mbin one, I am not sure it would be as workable in Lemmy. But can any of them be setup from scratch and run without mnowing any coding? Thanks
OP, did you get the answers to your questions? It seems like there was a bit of confusion if you meant a community or an instance.
An instance is the whole server, like for example feddit.uk or lemmy.world, or piefed social. Each instance contains many communities. For this you need to do some installing and configuring on a server that you buy or rent.
A community is like a “subreddit”, that runs on an instance. Devoted to some subject or general idea like news, knitting, or cats. This you need no programming or systems administration to do, it’s all clicking in a browser.
Thanks, yeah I think I mislabeled instance. I thought instance was the term Lemmy used and Community was the term used in PieFed.
I’m thinking of something along the lines of an old style forum. Sub categories underneath the main forum heading.
Similar to something like this. https://piefed.social/topics
