Probably a dumb question, but how does hosting your own instance work? I'd love to help but do I then need to provide content? Or is it more of an admin type situation?
No. You manage the server, and manage people registering. If it is enabled, they create communities (I.e. subreddits) and provide content. They can also use other server communities via federation.
