The cheapest digitalocean VPS doesn't have enough ram to host lemmy these days, especially after v0.19 update significantly increase database ram consumption. You'll have to use a vps with at least 4 GB of ram which will cost $24/mo. If you only want to spend $5/mo for that kind of VPS, you'll have to dig into lowendtalk.com to find some VPS deals from a somewhat reputable providers.
From what I’ve read participating in the Federation does require some competent level of commitment. I might end up joining once the process matures a bit more and the barrier for entry is a little lower for complete novices like myself.
Thanks for the service recommendation!
