I'm currently running my own instance for this exact purpose, and have helped another user setup their public instance. It's really quite simple! Just follow the instructions in the lemmy-ansible repo and the script should do most everything for you.
I'm running my instance from a Linode dedicated 2CPU 4GB RAM instance, where the friend I helped is running on a $5/mo 1CPU/2GB RAM Linode instance. Both are running Ubuntu 24.04LTS as I found that the newer non-LTS version has some issues out of the box.
I setup the credentials per the Ansible instructions and the script did the rest for me.
Do you think you could do this using Oracle's "forever-free" tier?
I've never used anything Oracle out of principle, but there is an ARM build of Lemmy. If you get it working then document your findings and share them
As someone who's been forced to use Oracle products many times in the past I nod to your standards and tip my hat for your sound judgement ๐
