Yeah since we’ve had two major exoduses on platforms recently I think providers are going to see it’s profitable to provide one click deploys and managed services. It seems like a good idea to me at least.

When all the dust settles, it might be nice to network with other instance admins to synchronize deployment strategies and experiences that everyone's gathered from battle testing these stacks. Particularly in fighting spam and bot networks, now that we've reached the user threshold to catch the attention of those kind of actors.
I can't imagine DO being far behind with a one-click option. They offer one of the biggest pools for one-click options, from what I've seen. I frequent DO, vultr, linode, and upcloud.
One click ActivityPub instances make a lot of sense for a light version of Mastodon. Many people with their own domains would prefer micro-blogging with their own domain names instead of relying on someone elses instance. If fediverse reaches mainstream, managed, light micro-blogging could be a good product for these providers.
Communick is offering Lemmy and Mastodon hosted instances.
Thanks for the link! Could you explain the difference between Managed Hosting vs Available Packages? The former is for admining your own entire Lemmy instance, while the later is for having an account without having to admin an instance? Perhaps the service marketing page could use a little more context to clarify if those are complementary or mutually exclusive service plans.

Exactly. I first started Communick only as a provider of the "communick.com" instances, the offering of managed hosting is somewhat recent.
I definitely to improve the marketing page, and I hope I can get some time soon to start adding more to the documentation pages.
That would be nice! I don't foresee it immediately, but if Lemmy keeps growing like this, then absolutely.
