I've been running a Kbin server on a service called elest.io for around a week.

Had a few teething troubles configuring caching, but that should work out of the box now.

If you can point & click on stuff in a semi-sensible manner then you could run your own instance for yourself, a specific community/sub.

I've configured mine as a news aggregator: https://fledd.it

You could subscribe to the main magazine here !worldnews

Elest.io do the install, configuration, encryption, backups, software updates, os upgrades, live monitoring, alerts, live migrations without downtime.

I'm not connected with them in any way other than as a customer.

I found I had problems initially until I properly sorted out caching. Then I threw a few hundred visitors at it and it's been fine. $10 would be OK for small communities I think, but you're right in that big communities will need big servers.

What problems are you having with federation? The news here is posted from Lemmy.world into fledd.it, then federated back to kbin.social: https://kbin.social/m/worldnews@fledd.it
