Any non-tech-background self-hosters? (lemmy.world)

I assume most users here have some sort of tech/IT/software background. However, I've seen some comments of people who might not have that background (no problem with that) and I wonder if you are self-hosting anything, how did you decide that you would like to self-host?

I believe that most self holsters actually are more hobbyist lifestyle than people with actual tech background.

I read and research a whole lot, which has taken me down this rabbit hole.
