I have been running adult sites since the late 90s. The legal end is not hard if you have everything in order. I have it all under a media company with business insurance.

It is easy.

If I were to run a Lemmy NSFW instance I would have my lawyer write up the exact legal terms as PornHub, YouTube, and Reddit.

My system admin would also REX any banned words, flag accounts, and flag IPs; anything uploaded would be the user's responsibility. I would also create a moderation bot.

I have one dedicated server in the US and three VPS at Vultr. VPS at Vultr locations is nearest the client's place of business since they only do a 100-mile radius of the business. My dedicated server uses CDNs from QUIC.cloud to Cloudflare. I can spin up VPS anywhere in the world.

I am interested since I run servers and already have the infrastructure in place.

I just have to get familiar with running a Lemmy instance on Docker. Also, I don't see any documentation on how to transfer a Lemmy instance.
