where do the instances actually reside? - eviltoast

If I were to create a new instance of lemmy do I set up my own server in my house, or am I just creating an instance on one of the lemmy servers?

    A Lemmy instance runs on a computer (server) and that server could be anything from a VPS you rent to your own computer in your home.

    My instance is hosted on my own hardware, at my home.
